Studio Sunday
November 9, 2:00 - 4:00pm
Material World
Artists in our collection and exhibitions using non-precious and even mundane materials ranging from rubber and vinyl to tin, wood, and glass explore new ideas about value, style, and content. This workshop emphasizes the elements and principles of design and craftsmanship and building visual literacy. Tour the galleries with us and get your hands dirty in our studios in this introduction to various mixed media materials and processes.
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.
