Thinking Inside the Box: Stories from Scrap Weekend Workshop
If you are inspired by the art of Cornell, Schwitters and Westerman, this workshop will appeal to you. Participants transform a found box or drawer into a low relief sculpture that tells a story by combining collage techniques, Xerox transfer, and small collected objects into a piece of art that joins collage with sculpture. Supplies needed: bring printed imagery/photos, unusual papers, collected objects and a small wood or thin metal box. A $5 materials fee is payable to the instructor. To prepare, think about a theme or topic that you would like to express within the box.  To register go to www.theartleague.org.
