Travel the world through art making in an
immersive week long workshop! We begin by creating our
very own artful passports. Then we jet off to a variety of
countries such as India, Australia, South Africa, Mexico,
Canada and China. We look at art forms and artistic
cultures from each of these different countries as we
learn traditional methods and techniques to apply to our
own art pieces. Some of our projects include elaborate
Chinese fans, Aboriginal Australian dot paintings, South
African masks and drums, woven Mexican textiles and
tin art or hojalata, plus intricate Indian henna hands and
peacock illustrations. We create with a wide variety of
worldly artistic mediums such as cardboard, construction
paper, yarn, ink, paint, glue and more.
FACULTY: Marge Dye received her Masters in art
education and visual studies from Texas Tech University
in Lubbock, Texas. She spent two summers as a
Children’s Program Intern at Anderson Ranch Arts Center
and will be returning for her third summer as a workshop
instructor. Currently, she is an associate teacher in first
grade at Aspen Country Day School. CONCEPT: Expand your mind and reinvent everyday
objects or items that have been thrown away into new and
beautiful artistic creations. In this evocative workshop,
we consider how to upcycle materials and integrate
them into our art making process, bringing awareness
to our environment and waste. We find inspiration in
plastic bottle caps, plastic silverware, old magazines and
newspapers, egg cartons and even larger objects such as
old window frames and tiles. The sky’s the limit for our
imaginations as we reinvent these disregarded items into
functional and decorative pieces. We make a bouquet of
flowers sculpted from plastic spoons, painted landscapes
on glass windows, magazine bowls and more. Come join
in on the fun and rethink what art can be!
FACULTY: Traci Wilson is an art teacher at Glenwood
Springs Middle School. She is originally from the Roaring
Fork Valley. Her background includes anthropology and
studio art. Traci’s continued dedication to research and
the promotion of art education led her to become an art
educator. CONCEPT: It’s all teamwork in this fun and inclusive
workshop that investigates the value of community
through creation! Work with a team of students to
develop your own village of ceramic houses inspired
by different cultures. Learn hand building and wheel-
throwing processes to create a series of houses that
contribute to a larger installation. While the clay pieces
are in the kiln, students use paper cutouts and patterns to
design the layout for the village outside on the Anderson
Ranch campus. On the last day of class, we assemble
our glazed and fired village in a final show for parents at
Anderson Ranch. In addition to learning how to build and
glaze ceramics, you experience the value of teamwork,
community, diversity and power in numbers.
FACULTY: M. Paige Ward is originally from Frog Jump,
Tenn. She holds an M.F.A. in studio arts and ceramics

children and adult clay class at Mudslingers Studio in

residence at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.
