We will be looking at pieces from Slash: Paper Under the Knife that uses thin strips or shredded paper. How does the texture of paper change once it is cut into small pieces? How can they get stronger? More fragile? We will focus on the materiality of paper and make three dimensional sculptures out of shredded paper.
About Studio Sundays
The lack of inhibitions of a child, the experience of a design student, the life skills of the retired businessperson, the feedback of the architect parent sitting side-by-side with their child, or the complete novice touching clay for the first time… there is much to be gained from gathering groups of mixed ages in the creation and discussion of works of art. At MAD, our goal is to make everyone feel comfortable and enthusiastic about the opportunity to learn through their hands while having a good time together in our galleries and studio.
Join MAD’s professional Artist Educators for Studio Sundays, MAD’s material- and process-rich hands-on workshops that focus on the physicality of “making” and the sensual and tactile qualities of materials. Each week we’ll provide an introduction to various mixed media—clay, metal, fiber, wood, glass, paper, rubber, etc.—and related studio activities that encourage the transformation of your ideas into art objects. Examples from our exhibitions serve as inspiration while you explore the creative process.
No reservations required, but space is limited.
