SUMMARY:Assemblage/Collaging Workshop
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 30 from 2pm-4:30pm\, explore the freedom and collaborative nature of art using a myriad of materials and methods.\n\nParticipants should bring materials they are willing to share (old magazines\, a piece of cardboard\, recycled or found paper\, leaves\, bubble wrap\, newspaper\, etc.) and materials for their own use only (a photo\, specific text\, etc.).\n\nWorkshop leader Isabella Saunooke grew up in Sylva and now lives in New York. She believes in art as a spiritual practice—a way to connect with the inner and outer world.\n“I believe that by using provided and shared materials to create a collage\, we are allowing ourselves to freely create\, with no expectation of what the final product should be\,” she shares. “We allow ourselves to capture a specific feeling or desire for the moment in time because that alone is enough to create something.”\nThis workshop\, held in MotCP’s Multipurpose Room in the Education Wing\, is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
