This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.

In this workshop, we'll create two snow globes each while exploring how these objects fit into the larger story of kitsch and parallel art practices

Bring a plethora of plastic figurines, miniature objects and random trinkets to encase in a snowy miniature wonderland! We'll provide the snow globe encasings, adhesives, and of course, the snow.

Together, we’ll build your ideas for winter paradises, fantastic other worlds or even recreations of everyday scenes.

(Class size: 10)
