This workshop explores the creative potential of everyday and discarded objects, guiding participants in transforming new, found, and repurposed materials into sculptural artworks. Emphasizing improvisation and creative problem solving, the course introduces techniques for working with a range of materials while helping artists develop their individual narratives through hands-on exploration.
What to Expect:
Days 1–2:
The workshop will review some key art historical references, focusing on artists whose work exemplifies the transformative use of found objects. Participants will begin collecting a wide array of materials—old tools, furniture, toys, and other everyday items—and explore techniques such as construction, wrapping, binding, and cold connections to begin assembling components.
Day 3-4:
With their chosen materials, participants will create sculptural works that express personal meaning, experimenting with form, structure, and composition. The focus will be on how objects—when altered, combined, or deconstructed—can articulate narrative, symbolism, or emotional content.
Throughout the workshop, demonstrations will introduce various tools, materials, and methods for incorporating found objects into sculpture. Participants will be encouraged to use problem-solving skills, basic hand tools, and resourcefulness to literally create their interpretation of the ever elusive Junk Bird.
This workshop is intended for intermediate-experienced artists familiar with fabrication. Students are also encouraged to bring an assortment of their own found, recycled and repurposed objects.
