Free with registration. All materials provided.
Registration closes Thursday May 21.
Join Liz Oakley, the Gibson's Art Studio Lead, for a workshop on making instruments that modify how you see your surroundings!
Let’s look at the world in new and unexpected ways – through kaleidoscopes, viewfinders, and periscopes! In this workshop, we’ll use reclaimed paper tubes, recycled cardboard, reflective surfaces, and a variety of other materials to make a series of experimental instruments that modify how you see your surroundings. Learn techniques for making several kinds of viewfinders. Then explore outside to see how your instrument affects the way you interact with the environment. Come play with your perception!
“My son loved it! It was great to spend time together as a family doing something creative.”
