    This two-day workshop is designed for anyone interested in creating art from found objects and recycled materials. Each student will complete their own assemblage while learning the fundamentals of sound construction and good design.

    The historical background of found object art from prehistoric times to 20th century modernism will provide additional inspiration as needed. Workshop instructor, Kim Sayers-Newlin, has over 25 years of art education experience and is also a successful artist in her own right. Enjoy this upbeat workshop in a spectacularly inspiring mountain ranch setting. Pre-registration is required.

    Participants should bring a sack lunch each day and be prepared to work outside at altitude. This class is open to teens and adults.

    About the B.I.G. Idea Workshops Program: Smokebrush's B.I.G. Idea Workshop program is brilliant, innovative, & gutsy: adjectives that serve as the cornerstone for this leading-edge environmental art workshop program. Aimed primarily at adults and teens, the program unites art and eco-technology through the strategic production of exhibitions in our gallery, coupled with unique workshops engaging artists and non-artists alike. Some workshops delve into innovative approaches to artistic processes while integrating knowledge about the sustainable acquisition, use and disposal of art materials; others introduce principles of eco-technology using art. This summer alone you can learn Color Theory, Encaustic (Beeswax) Painting, Kinetic Wind Sculpture with Found Materials, Assemblage Art and more! A partnership with the Pikes Peak Community Foundation.

    Also, don't miss ReMaterial, an exhibition of beautiful and functional works created from materials that would otherwise be recycled, end up in a landfill, or created from things of nature. Exhibition opens Friday, July 3 (5-8pm) and continues through July 31.
