Along the way you'll learn some principles of sculpture: balance, asymmetry, function and composition. Your assemblages might incorporate hollow children's toys, plastic tableware, wood, flimsy metal things, shoes, lightweight sports equipment, baskets and/or items you've found at thrift stores, garage sales and your own kitchen.

She was an early and core member of Friends of the Rag, a Seattle group of wearable artists who presented over 70 live shows, including one at the Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC on an NEA grant. She is a risk-taker, self-taught, and actually supports herself through her art endeavors. Her success is the result of a lifetime art-making preoccupation and she simply cannot live without making things: sculpture, unusual clothing, events. For over 30 years now she has been constantly cooking up projects, animal themes in her artwork, innovative events.and wearable art! She currently lives and works in Tacoma and is in the early stages of designing a performance artwork for Tacoma's FIRSTNIGHT. - See more at: http://www.bellevuearts.org/calendar/#search-by=day&query=11/9/2013 Best, Eileen Herbert Education Curator | Bellevue Arts Museum 510 Bellevue Way NE | Bellevue, WA 98004 Phone: (425) 519-0793 | Fax: (425) 637-1799 www.bellevuearts.org<http://www.bellevuearts.org/> ART | CRAFT | DESIGN
