Sculpture with Found Objects

In this tradition our class will build low reliefs and sculptures using whatever materials you bring or select from those provided. We will emphasize a non technical approach to making objects with materials that are usually recycled or discarded. Whether it is with ubiquitous plastic cups, wood off-cuts or a collection of old buttons, sentimental or cutting edge, we will adapt and combine our chosen materials into evocative and exciting structures. No prior experience is needed.
