Be creative—rubber bands\, twist ties\, zip ties—who knows what you might find! \nDon’t have anything like that? Really? Are you sure? Anyway—no worries—NO WORRIES—we can cut old t-shirts into long strips. I will show you how. \n3–Found objects; broken stuff\, found stuff anything. We live in Durham\, Home of the Scrap Exchange—we know what found objects are! \nHolsenbeck is excited about this new teaching adventure. She says: “I want to teach this class because I am curious about what we will find and then what we will be inspired to make. The techniques I have to teach are simple. Twisting\, tying\, wrapping\, and more! I hope you will join me in this adventure. I start smiling just thinking about it. What will happen? Who knows? Let’s find out!!!” \nLeader: Bryant Holsenbeck is an internationally known environmental artist who lives in Durham\, NC\, and makes art out of stuff that other people throw away. \nCost: $25 – this covers all 3 sessions \nRegistrants will receive a zoom link prior to the event \n
