Registration Open for "Recycled Robot" & “Collage Printmaking” Workshops for Kids Coming to Dahmen Barn


Two workshops for kids coming up at the Dahmen Barn. On Saturday, July 14, 2012, two workshops for kids are scheduled at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn.  “Recycled Robot” will be held in the morning and “Collage Printmaking” in the afternoon; both are taught by Megan Perkins of Spokane.


“Recycled Robot” is scheduled from 10:30  a.m. to noon.  Come turn your everyday ordinary cereal box into a robot of your very own. Make it scary, silly, funny, or cute. Paint it, give it wacky antennas, or a big toothy grin. There are infinite possibilities!  Students should dress for a messy project.  The cost is $18 and includes all materials.

“Collage Printmaking” I will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.  This class is a fun and easy introduction to printmaking. It is exactly what it sounds like - printmaking using collage techniques. Paper, lace, tape and more are cut and adhered to a board to make exciting images, patterns and textures. This board is then inked and printed by placing paper over the board and rubbing it with a spoon so that the ink transfers to the final paper. The results will surprise you!  The cost is $23 which includes all materials.

Megan Perkins graduated from Gonzaga University with a degree in biology and history, but studied art all the way through school. She spent a year in Italy haunting the museums and painting on street corners and loved every minute of it. She assistant teaches 3rd and 6th grade and paints in her free time.
