Interactive Arts Exploration
Events
Ecological Artistry from the Garden Studio | Melissa Cowper-Smith
In this SPARKS Exchange Melissa Cowper-Smith will be sharing about her Artists Garden, where she gathers materials she transforms through her creative process. Her art is expressed through beekeeping, papermaking, fiber arts of weaving and spinning, and encaustic painting. This session's creative response will be generative scribing, where we gather words throughout the session that evoke the materiality of Melissa's process. To wrap-up the session, participants will weave these words into poetry.
