Folk Art R Us...

    Workshop or Lecture:      

    Option One - Workshop with hands on interactive
    participation  by audience.  Designed as playtime for
    adults.

    Option Two:         Lecture and slide show


    Description:               

    Folk artists create beauty from broken, often
    discarded materials.  Many of these works include
    material made from
    old rags, bent metal, decaying wood and shattered
    bottles.

    Looking at these pieces we can see our own lives
    reflected
    in the completed whole piece.  Participate in this
    workshop and let the pieces of your life come closer
    together.  Participants will create their own beautiful
    self portrait – even if they can’t draw a straight line.
    Come prepared to look, listen and play.
