Creative Connections: Assemblage- Lake Erie Beach Art

Three Week Introductory Course on Assemblage and Found Objects - $95

Join us for an exciting three-day journey into the world of assemblage art and using found objects! This hands-on course is designed for beginners and art enthusiasts eager to explore the creative possibilities of these traditional crafts. Over the course of three days, participants will learn the fundamentals of assemblage, experiment with various materials, and discover the art of repurposing objects into unique works of art. By the end of the course, you will have created three pieces using driftwood, beach glass, and stones. (*Scholarships available for eligible applicants. See below.)

This class has a fun (and optional) field trip before class begins! Join Mim Daniel on the shores of Lake Erie and collect supplies you can use for your upcoming class projects and enjoy learning the added step to the assemblage process of finding your own objects for art. This field trip is not required to take the class, but we highly recommend for a fun adventure. Field trip participants must be able to climb up and down steep steps, and they must be prepared for the weather. Participants must have own transportation to the beach location and must RSVP during class registration (by April 5th @ 6pm). More information on the field trip will be emailed to individuals who have RSVP'd.

Class for ages 14 & up.
