A recent recipient of a SCAPC ‘educational opportunity award’ has announced their summer timetable:
The first of several summer workshops in the Keweenaw Krayons Ripple Effect Recycled Art Program, scheduled to be held at Keweenaw Krayons Art Center in Mohawk, will be held Wednesday, June 16, and Thursday, June 17 from 1 to 3 p.m.
On Wednesday Artist Len Novak will lead participants in the making of dreamcatchers and other garden art. There will also be an opportunity to work on the Keweenaw Krayons Garden Sculpture. On Thursday participants can attend Open Studio time to continue working on their projects with Len’s assistance. It is hoped that participants will learn the art medium and then teach it to others, thus creating a Ripple Effect.
Cost for the class, which includes supplies to make a dreamcatcher and/or a piece of garden art is $5. All ages are welcome, but youth younger than six are asked to bring an adult or older teen along. Participants are invited to bring special pieces such as shells, driftwood, etc., to add to their art piece. As always family discounts, bartering and scholarships are available. In case of rain, the workshop and open studio time will be held indoors.
In order to have enough supplies pre-registration is required. Call 337-4706 or email staff@keweenawkrayons.com
The summer workshops are sponsored in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Copper Country Community Arts Council and the Denise Marth Memorial Grant though the Superior Child Abuse Prevention Council.
