Living Tree Art with Earl Senchuk

While demonstrating the process of making Living Tree Art at the 2012 World of Concrete Trade Show in Las Vegas, I found out that I really enjoy teaching the art of making realistic looking trees using concrete and steel.  Nathan Giffin of Vertical Artisans stopped by and asked if I would like to come aboard and share my techniques with others through the Vertical Artisans website.  Ever since, with each new tree I create, I learn new tricks to share and hope you will as well with other Vertical Artisans.

Trees are big, expensive items to ship which is why I chose to teach Living Tree Art so that others can prosper as well within the distance they are willing to travel to install their works.  Basic artistic skills, a 110 V MIG welder, Oxyacetylene torch kit, and common tools are all that are needed for anyone to enjoy the never ending compliments that come from the currently wide open, untapped market of Living Tree Art.  (This course includes 43 videos and 120 page instruction manual).    Price- $495   To goto the Living Tree Art Forum Click Here   There are also several Photos below that best represent the LTA concept.  To see  all the photos Click Here to visit the Online Photo Gallary of Living Tree Art.

Through 24 videos and a 43 page instruction manual, I demonstrate in 9 steps how to make versions of Living Tree Art that are 2-1/2 on up to 4 feet tall using concrete and steel.   These miniature versions of mature looking trees work perfectly as room décor for wedding tables, hospital entryways, hotel lobbies, flower shops, craft shows, just to name a few market channels.   The tree displays can incorporate living or artificial plants and can be interchanged at will to match the season, or the event.   A change in display can change the attitude of an entire scene.   The trees can be made to be displayed indoors or out, or both.  This is a good starter course as it carries all the same basic principles as large Living Tree Art, but with lighter duty startup needs.
