Sculpture

Free Form Sculpture: Reuse and Recycle

Kendra Wadsworth, Artist and Educator

Using hardware cloth and copper wire as a foundation, students construct a creative form to be woven and decorated with recycled and recovered objects. Emphasis will be on free-form and creative expression. Students are encouraged to bring in materials to be incorporated into their sculpture: old articles of clothing, bed sheets, ribbon, yarn, buttons, soda can tabs, cheap jewelry, and random keepsakes.

Audience: High school through adult
Enrollment: 15 participants

Mixed Media Sculpture

Robyn Raines, Artist

Participants in this workshop are asked to bring 10 objects that can fit into a backpack. Using those objects plus a variety of provided “treasures,” students will enjoy a day of creating sculpture! Concepts such as connections, texture, focal points, stability, longevity, and other elements involved in developing mixed media sculpture will be explored. Students will walk away with new brainstorming techniques as well as the information and skills needed to create sculpture using a variety of materials.
