Last night (January 8, 2009) we were honored to have Alison Shanik, a graphic designer and DIY artist associated with the Church of Craft, teach a workshop in the classroom on the 6^th floor. The workshop focused on making a three dimensional collages and then scan them into the computer to make two dimensional images. Participants used old magazines, photos, fabric and a number of other materials such as buttons and string, scanned and printed them and used their two dimensional works to make themselves a calendar. Myself and attendees alike really enjoyed the process of making their own personalized calendars and using an unusual technique to make two dimensional work. The workshop was very successful and I encourage anyone to sign up for these events, they are both surprising (people created collages they may have never done on their own), fun and educational and make a nice relaxing, informative, hands-on evening during a busy work-filled week. The second Remix Workshop will be held Thursday, February 5^th from 6:30-8:00 pm and we ask that participants register early and make reservations for the upcoming events as we only have a limited number of spots available in each workshop.
