Kick off your creativity with first MAKE night of the year! Join MCD as we transform the galleries with interactive activities inspired by "RugLife".
THIS MONTH'S MAKE ACTIVATIONS
"Pipe Cleaner Action Figures with Don Porcella"
CCA Professor and artist Don Porcella works with pipe cleaners to create hand-held action figures with the artists in this class. Artists will use their hands to weave this wonderful craft material together while embracing their own unique identity. Working on a small scale lends itself to thinking about the essential elements of design and explores likeness through caricature.
"Tesselating Textures Block Printing"
Block printing, historically used to decorate textiles for clothing, is a process steeped in tradition and generational craft knowledge. Carve your own design and transform your canvas through satisfyingly repetitive prints.
"Wondrous Weaving"
Weaving remains a major method for textile production, both as an art form and in the commercial industry. Try your hand at this traditional, time-honored technique and take home a loom of your own!
"Plushy Pom Poms"
Pom poms and tassels are classic embellishments featured in woven rugs. Create a pom pom garland to bring a "RugLife" aesthetic into your own home or make a pom pom keychain and never lose your keys again!
"Pictorial Perler Beads"
Patterns and symbols are integral to the cultural history of rugs, often included to tell stories or bring good fortune. Ukrainian Kylym/ Kilim rugs are flat-woven rugs denoted by their distinct style of bold geometric forms and bright colors. Pictorial Perler Beads mimics the gridded pattern of Kylym rugs and invites you to create your own symbolic artwork!
*Activities subject (but not likely!) to change without notice
$10 for General Admission, $8 for Students and Seniors, MCD members FREE.
