Studio Sunday
November 23, 2:00 - 4:00pm
Have a Seat
Expand your ideas of sculpture, furniture and site-specific art while designing a prototype for a bench you propose for MAD’s new home at 2 Columbus Circle. Discussions regarding design, structure, and comfort will complement hands-on opportunities for shaping parts, creating joints and assembling final design concepts. This workshop will include drawing, model building and critique as we will explore sculptural forms both abstract and functional.
STUDIO SUNDAYS
Intergenerational Programs @ MAD
Every Sunday, 2-4pm
The lack of inhibitions of a child, the experience of a design student, the life skills of the retired businessperson, the feedback of the architect parent sitting side-by-side with their child, or the complete novice touching clay for the first time… there is much to be gained from gathering groups of mixed ages in the creation and discussion of works of art.
At MAD, our goal is to make everyone feel comfortable and enthusiastic about the opportunity to learn through their hands while having a good time together in our galleries and studio.
Join MAD’s professional Artist Educators for Studio Sundays, MAD’s material- and process-rich hands-on workshops that focus on the physicality of “making” and the sensual and tactile qualities of materials.
Each week we’ll provide an introduction to various mixed media—clay, metal, fiber, wood, glass, paper, rubber, etc.—and related studio activities that encourage the transformation of your ideas into art objects.
Examples from our exhibitions serve as inspiration while you explore the creative process.
Every Sunday, 2:00 sharp until 4:00pm (unless otherwise noted). See the Calendar section of MAD’s website at www.madmuseum.org for specific dates and workshop descriptions.
