Workshop Details

Michael deMeng 9-4:00 Saturday	338 - Weird & Wonderful Windows-Mixed Media Light Boxes	[back to quicklinks] $ 135 Plus $25 materials fee
I will show you how to transform simple wooden boxes into mixed media light boxes—electrical assemblage! Actually, the finished project is a little more interesting than that; you will be creating weird and wonderful windows. These little portholes will peek through layers and layers of imagery into an ethereal world. Multiple layers of glass, photo transparencies, paint, and bits of assemblage are all that's needed to take this visual journey...oh, I guess we need light bulbs too. Supply List: --Exacto knife & blades; --scissors; --drawing tools (pens, pencils, pastels, etc--bring what you feel like using); --brushes ( a few detail or line brushes, some flat in different sizes nothing larger than 1"--leave your expensive ones at home); --matte medium; paints (white, black, quinacridone gold, red, blue, yellow--any others you desire); --strong clear glue like E 6000; --doodads and found objects--nothing too big; --transparencies (to fit in a 5"x5" space, but they don't need to be that large because you'll be cutting them if you desire.  Variety is the spice of life, so bring lots of images to choose from.  You never know what might come in handy.)
