Supernatural through Sculpture
Come with your spooky stories, your cautionary tales, the figures that lived in your childhood garden or home. Bring these figures to life through found and foraged materials.
The goal of this workshop is to explore memories using the senses, to exchange stories about supernatural encounters and occurrences, to introduce participants to making sculptures using materials they can easily forage or find, and to generate a sense of community by connecting participants through art, folklore, and storytelling.
We provide all materials, as well as prompt sheets. We guide participants through the process of thinking of supernatural creatures and encounters from their own lives, and depicting them through a variety of foraged materials, including black walnuts, sticks, pinecones, moss, flowers, and more. At the end of each workshop, participants share their creations and the story behind them.
