Up Coming Workshops
Creature-making workshop
Sunday, November 17 , 10:30- Noon , Age 8-12
Emma Fick’s kids’ workshop inspired by her dads’ sculptures currently on display at Parlour Gallery. Each young artist will take home a small “creature” for display at home, complete with a sawtooth-hanger on the back and ready to hang.
The workshop will take place in the gallery displaying Tom’s works— students will literally be surrounded by inspiration. Modular wooden shapes based on Tom’s pieces will be layered together and painted to create mini sculptures. Ambitious students are free to make more than one. What will they see? A face, a body, a dragon, a mystery creature? We can’t wait to find out.
Where: 822 Camp St
When: Sunday, November 17, 10:30am-noon
Age group: 8-12
Note: parents are free to hang out in the front gallery room during the workshop, or leave and pick up their kids at the end. If you have a child a bit younger than the age range listed, please contact Emma, we might be able to fit them in.
