Money Bags Workshop
This workshop is offered during Stan Chisholm’s solo exhibition, NewPop I. Working with a motif usually seen in cartoons, MoneyBags is a public art project that transfers the recognizable image of the moneybag from the comic to the real and playfully challenges society’s values, the role of currency, the idea of ownership, and human impulses towards greed and generosity. MoneyBags has multiple iterations, and is not bounded by any single project. Stan will be joined by a collaborator and Chicago artist, Lisa See Kim.

Felting A Hat
In this course we will create wearable hats out of felt and use simple techniques that you can use at home. The process of felting involves tangling together wool fibers through agitation. No knitting necessary! This is the perfect class for the pending season change.

Fall Harvest Paper Making
It’s the end of October, and last summer’s green bounty of lilies, hostas, and vines are wilting into brown masses. Let’s harvest these plants and turn them into beautiful sheets of handmade paper! In this workshop, participants will bring in fibers harvested from the wild or their home gardens and transform them into varieties of experimental papers. Basic papermaking techniques will be covered including processing of plant fibers and pulling sheets. »Read more...
