AND A Chance to Win A Custom Made Art Piece Made by Michael

See below for details

As a kid I loved magicians. One of my most cherished memories was when I used to go to magic shops with my grandfather. I was fascinated with secret compartments, velvet curtains and trap doors. Finally, after all these years I have found a way to apply some of those childhood memories to the art-making process.

In this class we will be creating an art chamber with rotating art….literally. Using assemblage and collage the students will create shadow box that has not one, not two, not three, but FOUR options for the viewer. If you get bored with an image, simply give it a spin and…Presto…a new image appears….like magic.

DETAILS For Diablo OR No Diablo:

For each deMeng Workship day that a student takes at The Artists' Nook July 17-20th, they will receive a little matchbox...filled with something.

The idea is to get the one with a little devil.

If you get the devil Michael will make a little shrine for you (roughly 4"x6"ish) that will incorporate a personal item that you would like included.

The Matchbox Opening Ceremony will be a Wine & Cheese Party after Critque on Saturday.

Saturday's workshop ends at 5 pm so the Critque should end about midnight.... Just kidding!

More like 5:30 pm for the unveiling of the festivities!

*If you have dietary restrictions, you are welcome to bring your lunch. There is a refrigerator and microwave on the premises.
