Explore She Bends: Neon as Soulcraft at MakeArt Family Day!
Ready, set, glow to MCD in celebration of Neon as Soulcraft's MakeArt Family Day! The exhibition showcases the skillful mastery of the trade and shines a light on the learning process behind the craft. Experience the illuminating magic of neon and foster your own creativity through exhibition-inspired MakeArt activations-popping up in the galleries exclusively on MakeArt Family Day.
Sample of MakeArt Family Day Activities:
-Haptic Scrap Neon Exploration
Touching art unlocks creative connections-slide your fingers across bends, tap glass tubes, and consider the physical weight of the craft. Enjoy a guided tactile touch tour featuring scrap neon by local artist Vince Kolosoki.
-Noble Gas Glass Etching
Learn about the gasses that give neon its distinct hues while practicing the satisfying art of glass etching-bending light in the shape of exhibition-featured neon works.
-Bent Bombarded Bracelets
Get tubular! These accessories evoke neon bending in process and shape-mimicking the curving contours of neon signs and filled beads reflective of the excited noble gasses within blown tubes.
-Neon Needlework
A well-made pattern is the crucial first step in neon bending. These paper maps indicate the length of glass tubes, weld points, and the location of electrical components. Artists place hot glass onto patterns to check their bends, leaving behind charred paper. Trade molten glass for embroidery thread and follow your own paper pattern-no fire required!
All ages welcome-craft your day with the whole family at MCD! Pre-registration is recommended.
$10 Adults, $8 Students and Seniors, Kids 12+ Under are Free.
