In our Artist Workshop Series, local artists share their inspiration and skills with children in a series of free classes.
Join artist Wanda Gillespie in this fun creative workshop where we will create an alternative abacus sculpture. She will demonstrate possible combinations of shapes using rattan and bamboo on a wood footing. Beads, coloured paper, tape and wool can be used to decorate and join parts together.
For the Adults: Gillespie views the abacus as a tool for contemplating the intricacies of value systems encompassing both economic and spiritual dimensions. It serves as a captivating instrument for re-imagining conventional structures, prompting us to scrutinize what we hold dear and the methods by which we assess them.
For the Kids: For Wanda, the abacus is like a magical tool that helps her think about things that are really important, like how much things are worth and what makes our hearts feel happy. It’s like a puzzle that makes her wonder about what things are valuable and how we can measure them.
No reservation required, but spaces will be limited and available on a first-come basis.
