SKILL LEVEL: Open to all

CONCEPT:  Repetition, rhythm and multiples
are the themes we explore as we create
assemblage pieces in 2- and 3-D forms. We
construct from elements we make, find or
repurpose. The techniques we use to connect
and fasten these elements—sewing, nailing,
braiding, gluing, fusing and more—are just as
important as the elements themselves. Our
aesthetic choices may be formal, organic,
sloppy, or tightly wound, but always personal
as we consider visual language. The goal is to
explore materials and processes, then respond
to those explorations.

CONCEPT:  Mining for inspiration, this workshop explores research and development for
drawing ideas, processes and imagery. Participants use a variety of investigative methods to
expand working approaches, organize compositions, experiment with ways of building
imagery, and develop ownership of ideas and
motivations. We combine different media and
drawing strategies to create works which bring
fresh insight to our unique subject matter.

September 20. All proceeds support the
Ranch’s artistic programs.

MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Paper, fabric of any sort,
rubber, found objects, wood, deconstructed
clothing, wire, glue, encaustic medium, plaster
and wood. Students are encouraged to bring
one item of clothing or old artwork to deconstruct as a starting point. Basic hand tools,
sewing machines and assorted adhesives are
available.
ACTIVITIES:  Slide presentations and lectures,
demos of sewing and waxing techniques,
assignments to get projects started and
focused, one-one-one instruction and discussion. Motivations and projects vary from student to student.

MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Multiple drawing media
on paper and in sketchbooks.
ACTIVITIES: Days are organized to provide plenty
of studio work time on projects selected from
suggested experiments and self-generated
directions. There are daily discussions and
group critiques to further the dialogue about
your approaches, content and intent.
