CLASSES & SHOWS!
I am doing things and making things and please come say hi.
SQUISHY SATURDAY
Saturday August 12, 12-4PM
1068 The Alameda
​
Squishy Saturday is an open studios collaboration between me and Stephanie Metz, two soft sculptors who want to make fun stuff and be a part of our community. We have both been working on inflatable sculpture and would like you to see it as it grows. I am making structures people can get inside, and Stephanie is extending her marvelous 3D forms through air-power. We will do demos of what we're up do, show past artwork and offer visitors the first spots on our upcoming class offerings.
Saturday September 9,
YARD SALE 10am-2pm
Open Studio 12pm-4pm
1068 The Alameda, back parking lot
It's a two-fer! Yard sale starts at 10am and artists open their studios at 12pm.
We are inviting artists with too much stuff to have a table at our Art Supply Yard Sale! And everyone else is invited too. Come pick up something new to work on-- this is a great entry-level opportunity to buy some very low-priced art supplies and dip your toe into a new hobby. Please contact me by September 4th to have a table. More info here.
​
Amy & Stephanie will open their studios 12pm-4pm. I am demonstrating my plastic collage technique for an upcoming sewing class, and getting signups for a Halloween-themed sewing class for kids.
Play with a surprisingly abundant art material-- discarded plastic! We will experiment and play with collage using shopping bags, tablecloths, and other plastic that comes and goes through our lives. Design a collage or patchwork of small collages and make a usable tote bag that looks beautiful and takes a little load off the planet. No sewing experience necessary. Ages 16+. Sign up here!
In time for the spookiest month, a sewing class that teaches kids the basics of hand sewing through a medium they will love: stuffies! We will take toys apart and mix and match their parts to create a freaky new thing. Everyone will also sew an eyeball pincushion they can really use. 2.5-hour workshop is for kids 10 and up.
