Sculpting Workshop with Rhonda Whitledge

Picture

​Pt. 1: Oct 4th @6pm

Pt. 2: Oct. 11th @6pm
Pt. 3: Oct. 18th @6pm
Pt. 4: Oct. 25th @6pm

Rhonda has been developing her skills in creating art dolls for about 45 years. Aside from being self taught, she has taken classes from Tuck Langland, Faith Wick, and Wendy Froud. Over the years she has explored sculpture in mediums as diverse as bread dough, soft sculpture, and bronze. She has designed patterns for soft sculpture and taught creative techniques to students from Kindergarten through adults.

​Using patterns, colors, and creatures found in nature, paired with a little mystical whimsy, Rhonda encourages viewers to find the extraordinary magic in the natural world. She is inspired by anything from a good night's sleep to the changing of the seasons, and the results are guaranteed to leave a feeling of childlike wonder.

​We're extremely excited to be partnering with Rhonda for this unique workshop. If you love creatures like the kind you'll find in pictures from Jim Henson, George Lucas, Tim Burton, etc., this class if for you. The best part is, you won't need any experience. Just bring your imagination, a stand if you want it, and any fabric you'd like to use as doll clothes. We hope to see you there!

September is here and so is the fall catalogue

Picture

Check it out today and plan ahead

If you have been around the makerspace this year for classes you maybe picked up one of our class catalogues. We publish one each quarter so you can see what classes and workshops are coming up and plan accordingly. 

This time, we decided to add a little more information in the catalogue for you too. You can find info on our upcoming featured artists, plan to attend a pop up makers' market, get info on our premier music and art festival we're hosting in September, and on how to plan a DIY party with us. 

We're excited, moving forward, to add even more valuable information for you in this catalogue. You can pick one up in the shop mid September (Art Beat wiped out our first order of catalogues) or look at it now with this online PDF version. 

This catalogue lists all our scheduled classes and workshops from the beginning of September through the end of November. Sometimes classes are added last minute, and we always add those to our Facebook events and notify our email subscribers. You can join our email list here to make sure you stay up to date and even get an occasional subscribers' only perk.

DIY Kits hit the shelves

Picture
Picture
We want to make it easier for you to tackle some of our cool projects, so we started with a DIY kit. One of our most popular classes is the soldered glass terrarium class. However, it's only offered about once or twice a quarter. So I thought, why not make it to go? It's the exact same result with only a few changes that make it easier for you to do at home. 

In the class, you learn to cut the glass, clean, tape, and solder it, and you can sign up for that class here. But the kit gives you pre-cut pieces of glass, and a solderless technique to put it together. You may not be learning the stained glass basics like in the class, but you can do this anywhere and still have a great looking addition to your room decor once you're done. 

To finish the look of this project, we include some preserved moss, a live air plant (one of my favorite low maintenance plants), and a few stones.
