Jeanne Henderson’s Canvas Cubed Adult Workshop; Free!

Adults will create their own custom Rubik’s Cube using their own original design with the guidance of local artist Jeanne Henderson. Participants must bring the following:

SUPPLY LIST
Scissors
Elmer’s glue
Ruler or straight edge
1” first aid tape or masking tape
Dry media (color pencils, crayons, markers, watercolor pencils, pastels…)
Collage materials and possibly an Exacto knife
A variety of surfaces will be furnished – pastel paper, canvas paper, yupo…but if you want to bring your own – one sheet 9x12ish should do.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.  Each participant will get 8 wooden blocks, 1” cubes.
2. Using a simple taping pattern:
A. Tape the blocks in 4 sets of 2.
B. Arrange blocks in the pattern illustrated in a handout and tape them in that pattern.
3. Once all blocks are taped we will check them for correctness and reinforce each connection
4.  Measure and cut canvas or pastel paper to fit each block and glue to each block sides.
5. Once all sides are covered you are ready to add designs in your choice of medium.
6. It may be helpful to add a clear plastic tape or spray glaze as a finishing touch allowing each section to dry if using a glaze or fixative. This step may be completed at home.

The workshop is free and sponsored by the Alliance for the Visual Arts as a special event during its annual Kaleidoscope Holiday Show.
