Learn the basics of stained glass using copper foil, assembly, and soldering techniques to create a pair of stained glass Springtime animals. All skill levels are welcome. Space is limited to six students. Ages 18+.
Artistic maturity takes time and developing what Walt Disney called, imagineering within the gently guided boundaries of a teaching artist is what these one-day workshops are all about. Once young students begin to trust the process of transforming their ideas into something tangible, they can gradually be introduced to new raw materials and techniques, and navigate their own creative journey. If your young artist has an hour or so to spare, recharge and reset at the museum!
Engage your young child early on with cultural resources within their own community, instilling a lifelong love for art and self-expression. Early enrichment is all about two things: meaningful experiences and self-directed play. The pure (sometimes messy) joy that results from the process of experimentation with multisensory materials lays the foundation for critical problem-solving skills later in life. Plus, making art together with new friends is a great way to socialize. Please dress for the wonderful unexpected paint splatters and belly giggles.
Delve into handbuilding small clay vessels and creatures imbued with a mysterious twist of magic, nature, and mischief. Warm up to imaginative figurative sculpture that conveys storytelling through emotions and technical skill. Ages 18+. Registration includes clay and tools.
