In this fun, innovative two-day workshop, the renowned artist Valentine Adams will lead participants through the process of creating “reclaimed metal sculptures.” Participants are encouraged to bring with them small metal objects that may have a special texture, patina or nostalgic value. Using their imaginations, they will then integrate these disparate pieces into fantastical sculptures, breathing new life, if you will, into discarded debris (reclaimed art!). This event will involve light welding, soldering and wire bending. Participants will get to take home a terrific new work of art. The workshop is appropriate for adults, teens, and older children under supervision. The $100 fee covers all supply costs. The two-day workshop is 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 15 (includes light lunch) and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, July 16. Space is very limited. To register click here.
