April 22 - 29, 2008
April 22 & 29 - 6 - 9 PMLearn about the rising use of non-traditional media – especially common, everyday materials – in contemporary art. Then, using pipe-cleaners (aka: chenille stems) and other simple materials make a small piece, learning to incorporate structural integrity with personal creative expression. Because the wire stem creates the armature and the fibers create a soft surface, pipe-cleaners offer an all-inclusive, perfect medium!
Each participant will receive materials, some size-parameters, and some pre-formed armature wire, to begin to work on their segment of a final collaborative piece and in the second session we will each finish our “module,” then collaborate to assemble a site-specific public artwork!
