Untitled Assemblage

Arts & Crafts Assemblage Class

Just a few more days to find hidden treasures in your home or garage. Turn them into art to hang or display flat on a sideboard table. Class is on Saturday, February 5th,  from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the Art Room. Your cost, $20.

Accepting up to 12 students for this class. The technique is taking any object, then transposing it into something to admire as any art piece should be. Search your house in all the crannies. Find those colorful, strange, “why’d I save this,” and even broken things. They are gold if you have an imagination.

I can also help you with imagination. If you are at a loss to find things of you own, I will provide, hundreds of items that you can turn into something eye appealing. I will provide boards, about 10” x 10” to fasten your objects to. There will be glue, scissors, paint, even some small tools if you plan to use screws or nails. There is no limit to what you can create. You don’t have to use the boards. If you like, you can make your own jewelry. I will bring examples or you can email me and I can send you a couple photos of some of my work.

Find your treasures and think of ideas or themes. Wood, paper, metal, plastic, glass, cloth, photos, wire, and most rubber are just some of what you can use. Previous class attendees have made some beautiful work that is both decorative and very artistic. You will be surprised at what you can produce once you have your platform and see what others are doing.
