| Materials, Media and Me (M3) | |
Assemble (5125 Penn Ave.) is offering Saturday afternoon workshops for children 8-10!
Materials, Media and Me (M3) is a series of Saturday afternoon workshops. Each week, a different artist or technologist will introduce a material, show students how they use the material, and lead them through a project. M3 classes will highlight Metal, Paper, Fabric, Found Materials, Electronics and Paint. Students will explore the properties of the materials with the instructors: "How does it bend?" "How can you attach it to another material?" "What can I make with this?," before planning their own project. Schedule:
June 2 -- Metal with Dave Edwards
June 9 -- Paper with Katy Dement
June 16 -- Fabric with Daniel Baxter
June 23 -- Found Materials with Deren Guler
June 30 -- Electronics with Mark Barlow
