Artist-led Workshops
The Infinite Combination with Blanka Amezuka
Using a wide range of materials, kids can take combinations of existing objects and remake them into new and unique creations. These results can be worn as decorative personal accessories or contributed to a community totem.
Tip-Top Hats with Liv Shedden
Everyone can join in the madcap fun, working with recycled materials to create fantastic pieces of wearable art. Hat designers can even compete in a contest for the tallest, widest, or craziest hat.
Shadow Puppets with McKendree Key
Inspired by elaborate and beautiful Indonesian shadow puppets, participants create their own shadow puppets with moving parts. Puppeteers are invited to demonstrate their skills on the big shadow screen. Every half-hour an improvised puppet show will show off the results.
Origami USA with Jean Baden-Gillette
This ancient technique can be explored in quiet contemplation. Using crease-and-fold patterns, children can turn simple paper into any chosen design. This workshop is designed for all levels, from first-timers to experienced folders.
Loop of the Loom with Yukako Satone
A simple style of loom opens up the world of saori, a contemporary weaving technique from Japan. Kids can express themselves by adding their own style to a daylong group project. Materials are provided by Materials For The Arts, a not-for-profit program of the Department of Cultural Affairs. In partnerships with Department of Sanitation and NYC Board of Education, MFTA provides the City of New York with creative waste-reduction alternatives and provides cost-efficient and interesting materials for schools and nonprofit arts organizations.
