Our “Art-Making Playground” series lets artists and educators put their hands on new tools and materials, as well as learn new ways to work with the ones they already use.  Workshops alternate between demonstrations and “play time,” during which participants can try things out for themselves. In “Building with PVC” we’ll learn to build pop-up enclosures large enough to stand inside of, easy-to-assemble backdrops, and look at options for storage and transportation.

Participants will:

·      Be introduced to a variety of PVC sizes, types, connectors, and cutters.

·      Work together to build and decorate a structure large enough for an adult to walk through while standing up with room to spare.

·      Observe a short demonstration of tools for building “walls” and other décor elements.

·      Have time to experiment freely with the tools and materials presented while networking with their peers.

·      Trade their own discoveries, ideas, tips, and tools with other workshop participants.
