In partnership with "The Art of The Postcard" presented by Inverted Syntax.
Multimedia Collage Postcards: What Asks Us to Be Formed? Anni Albers writes, "How do we choose our specific material, our means of communication? Accidentally. Something speaks to us, a sound, a touch, hardness or softness, it catches us and asks us to be formed.” In this participatory craft seminar, we will discuss collage techniques, “our means of communication” and determine “what speaks to us” aesthetically. We will also create our own collage postcards. * Some materials will be provided by the Firehouse, but participants should bring postcards to transform, as well as materials to cut-up for their collage (magazines, old photos, scrap paper…), scissors, tape, glue, and any other elements to add to their multimedia collage postcards (markers, paint, thread, fabric…). |
