JCAST Activity: CLUTCH MY PEARLS
There is opportunity to shift structural language when a person is invited to play with unexpected materials without any expectations. Throughout the weekend of JCAST, Sky Garden Gallery and Theda Sandiford invite you to make strings of beads from recycled bottle caps.
Drawing inspiration from various beading traditions, mixing different bottle caps to make a string of colorful oversized beaded necklaces. Your creation will become a part of an upcoming installation celebrating personal adornment.
You can also tour Sky Garden Gallery and interact with my Emotional Baggage Cart series.
I am looking forward to making, with you….
