Are you looking for a fun, creative way to spend a Sunday afternoon? Why not try making sculpture using disassembled computers and recycled imagery?
Join me while I share my unique method of creating bold, dynamic sculpture. We will be following in the tradition of Picasso, the Surrealists, Louise Nevelson, and Joseph Cornell, who all used found objects in very different ways. You will fall in love with the process of taking apart technology and seeing the variety of incredible and inspiring shapes and materials. You will gain skill in construction and assemblage.
We will
