“All the world’s a stage” as Shakespeare coined. We’re going to work a bit smaller than that…let’s see if a matchbox can be a stage as well. We are going to find out. In this class we will use these tiny vessels to house little scenes or vignettes. The cast of characters will include tiny little men from model train sets or architect models. Using a mixture of collage and assemblage we will create little realms for these Lilliputians to dwell in. While we are at it we may even change our little dudes…perhaps wings, perhaps giving them a snake body…their world is in your hands…literally.
