ARTSgarage - January 2015

This month I came up with four topics for the fifth year of createIt@ARTSgarage for "educators of all stripes."

I'm looking forward to creating with fellow educators! All programs are free, but you must pre-register. 

Artful Vessels on Sunday, March 15th from 1-3:30 PM. Based on requests from many ARTSgarage participants, we will make string and paper vessels that could be enclosed containers or open baskets, depending on your preference.

Fiber Tiles on Sunday, June 7th from 1-3:30 PM. Inspired by traditional Persian designs, construct colorful tiles with paper, oil pastels and yarns, and play around with the different patterns they create.

Diverted Destruction 8 on Saturday, August 1 from 1-3:30 PM. Meet at the Loft at Liz's at 453 South La Brea, around the corner from ARTSgarage. View works featuring the reinterpretation by artists of salvaged fabrics collected and rescued by the gallery. Use open-ended questions to explore what's going on in these "up cycled" artworks, and make your own mixed media piece from rescued materials.

Wrap It Up on Sunday, November 8 from 1-3:30 PM. Inspired by the classic book on Japanese packaging How to Wrap Five Eggs, experiment with materials and wrapping techniques to create your own interpretations of traditional Japanese packaging.

Invitations go out 3-4 weeks before each session. If you are an educator and not yet receiving information, just contact me on  my website or message me on Facebook and I will  add you to the ARTSgarage mailing list. 

The fine print: sometimes my schedule changes so I have to adjust the dates, so just "pencil"  in the above dates until you get the actual invitation.
