Storytime Studio: Process Playground
November 13, 2024 | 10:00 am–1:00 pm
Throughout November, we’re delving into the world of artist Mark Bradford and his monumental masterpiece, Pickett’s Charge. Join us as we unravel Bradford’s creative process, his materials, and what inspires him to make art. This week, we will add, subtract, and experiment with materials inspired by the layers of Pickett’s Charge. Artists will explore the possibilities of ripping, pulling, and layering materials including paper, rope, glue, and fabric.
