ALTOID ASSEMBLAGE WORKSHOP
Lorma Freestone • Saturday 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. • 9/25 • $24.00 • Using the ubiquitous Altoid box, you’ll learn the fundamentals of composition and assemblage while working in these tiny, portable spaces. Included are many “tricks of the trade” and we always stress the importance of "no holds barred" self expression and fun. While you work, we include a very brief lesson in the development of the art of assemblage. With piles of materials such as charms, fiber trims, buttons, old photographs and evocative graphics, participants can “dumpster dive” into these treasures – creating wonderfully personal vignettes. We encourage you to bring along some of your own trinkets and photographs to work with as well. These make wonderful gifts. A material list is available on our website. Register
