About this Event
Artist and weaver Anni Albers wrote in her iconic essay Tactile Sensibility that “our tactile experiences are elemental” and that playful exploration of materials is essential to “regain a faculty that was once so naturally ours.”
In a two-hour workshop, participants will play with a wide variety of materials—paper, cardboard, foil, sticks, buttons, pebbles, seeds, wire, fibers, and more. In Albers’s words, they will “group them, cut them, curl them, mix them, finally perhaps paste them, to fix in a certain order.” The resulting exploratory collages will revitalize the sense of touch and lead to a deeper appreciation for the elemental importance of materials.
This program is part of the Wende Bauhaus series in February and March 2026, in which local artists lead hands-on classes inspired by the Bauhaus school’s learning-by-doing philosophy and its spirit of experimentation, play, and discovery.
