About this Event
This workshop invites artists and makers of all ages to build miniature spaces that restore and inspire their spirit. Participants will learn easy attachment methods to build structures out of cardboard and how to turn found objects into artwork, furniture, and figurines to decorate their space. After the workshop, this personal sanctuary can be taken home to continue collecting mini objects that inspire you, or act as an alter for meditation and reflection.
*This workshop requires using sharp tools! Young artists will need assistance from an adult.
To support our mission of providing unique, earth friendly art programming we ask that you pay what you can (PWYC) for this workshop. Our PWYC model is not meant to create a cost barrier, but allow for those with the financial means to support us to do so. We trust in each individual participant's autonomy and ability to decide for themselves how much they can financially contribute to this workshop!
Folks can make a payment through Eventbrite, or in person at the workshop itself! We will have a cash jar and a QR code for folks to pay via PayPal.
Creative Reuse is a supportive space, open to folks with any level of artistic ability. Our goal is to foster expression and creative community, not perfection. Just bring an open mind– we’ll cover the rest (including materials!).
This workshop is a part of our Guest Teaching Artist workshop series! On the second sunday of each month we bring in a local artist to host a workshop sharing their specialty. This month's Guest TA is Thea Keene. Here's a bit about them:
"Thea Keene is a multi-media artist based in Pittsburgh, PA, exploring the ways people interact with the world around them. Using a distinct illustrative style and a light-hearted sense of humor, Keene tells stories across a variety of mediums that offer a moment to slow down and take in the complex experience of being a human."
