Glass Fusion Community Art Project
REGISTRATION IS FULL
Join us this spring as we partner with Rick Findora on a Glass Fusion Community Art Project. Rick is a local artist who specializes in art made out of glass, wood, steel, and wrought iron. He's designed a fusible stained-glass tree that we plan to hang in a front window of our library when the project is complete.
We Need Your Help
In order to make this community art project, Rick has created 13 sections in the tree design. We want 13 artists of any age to create their own designs that Rick will then fuse into the larger art piece. Our art piece will have a floral or garden theme, but there will be creative freedom for each artist.
We've scheduled three workshops (two on Saturdays, one on a Monday afternoon/evening). If a child is participating, a parent or guardian is encouraged to join the workshop with their child. You will only need to attend one workshop.
How Do the Workshops Work?
Rick will explain the basics of glass fusion, describing the process and guiding participants through the completion of the piece. He'll show the artists how to create a design using glass shapes (or create a shape of their own). All supplies are provided. Each workshop has room for 4 or 5 artists. The workshops are slated to last two to three hours, but if you get done early, then you can leave when you'd like.
How to Sign Up?
Workshops will be filled on a first-come/first-served basis, and this event is now full. We have 13 total spots open. If you'd like to be added to a wait list, please contact Alex at aleclair [at] lodipubliclibrary.org.
Workshops will take place in the Program Room at the library (130 Lodi Street, Lodi, WI 53555).
Saturday, May 10th from 10 am to 1 pm
Saturday, May 24th from 10 am to 1 pm
Monday, June 2nd from 4 pm to 7 pm
Community art projects bring people together and strengthen local bonds. They also make our world more beautiful and promote creativity.
