Our current educational offerings
Making a Pedestal
Do you look at calls for art where the requirements of the gallery/ museums ask artists to provide your own pedestal and you don’t know where to start? Do you want to present artwork you own in a professional way, do you just want to learn some basic woodshop tools?
In this four- hour workshop participants will design, fabricate, and finish pedestals, and leave with the knowledge and skillsets to make their own. We will cover the industry standard materials, tools, and techniques used to create a professional pedestal.
Students will design a custom pedestal for a specific object, fabricate that pedestal using the panel saw and table saw, and paint the pedestal. They will leave with documentation and a step-by-step guide to make future pedestals. Each person will be provided with the materials needed to create a pedestal.
Packing your 2D Art for Shipping
Do you look at calls for art where the requirements of the gallery/ museums ask artists to provided reusable packing/shipping materials? And you don’t know where to start? Do you want to store your artwork, so it doesn’t get dirty from your studio?
In this two-hour workshop participants will be introduced to the world of art handling- the materials, tools, and techniques used to pack, store, and ship 2D work. Students will wrap a 2D object, make a custom carboard box(slipcase), and add additional ridged foam to make pieces safe to ship. They will leave with documentation and a step-by-step guide to pack future projects.
Each person will be provided with an art packing kit. Participants are welcome to bring a 2D work they want to pack/ ship up to 24”x36”, (for larger works extra materials will be provided at cost, or blank canvases for those who do not have an object to pack).
Packing your 3D Art for Shipping
Do you look at calls for art where the requirements of the gallery/ museums ask artists to provided reusable packing/shipping materials? And you don’t know where to start? Do you want to store your artwork, so it doesn’t get dirty from your studio?
In this two-hour workshop participants will be introduced to the world of art handling- the materials, tools, and techniques used to pack, store, and ship 3D work. Students will make a custom foam core box, use laminated foam to void fill around a 3D object, build a 2ply custom cardboard box, adding additional foam to make pieces safe to ship. They will leave with documentation and a step-by-step guide to pack future projects.
Each person will be provided with an art packing kit. Participants are welcome to bring a 3D work they want to pack/ ship up to 16”x16”x16” (for larger works extra materials will be provided at cost, or a suitable object for those who do not have an object to pack).
