March 3rd & 4th, 10-4

Cost:  $75     Ages:  Adults

Learn methods to combine natural, found wood into an assemblage sculpture that captures natural life and your own unique artistic expression.  Assemblage is a transitional process that may be inspired one beautiful piece of wood or other material which provides both the vision and the starting point that leads to a finished sculpture.  This course will take you from designing your concept, establishing the base and balance of your piece through construction, and finally, to the application of a surface treatment or patina. You will get experience using tools, glues, synthetic clays, and acrylic paints that will help you construct wood and other found objects into an extraordinary assemblage.

Designer Alert
The 4th annual Green Is the New Black Fashion Extravaganza will be held March 9 and 10 in Carbondale. This year’s show journeys through the visions of our future from the 1920′s to now to bring us to the world we know today. Featuring fashion that sparks the imagination, created from recycled and sustainable materials, designers and artists, locally and globally, come together to create a dynamic, alluring, thought-provoking and highly entertaining event.

This year’s show called, Back to the Future, will explore themes of what we thought our world would be like based on films and books and where we really are today. Fashion and environment dominate the journey. Think Jetsons meets Avatar peppered with cutting edge fashion and design.
