Get matched →Inside the Box is an immersive, one-day creative workshop inviting participants to transform humble found boxes (cigar boxes, or any small to medium size sturdy box) into expressive dimensional mixed media artworks. Through the process of assemblage, participants will turn overlooked and ordinary items into deeply personal, imaginative art pieces that tell stories, evoke memories, and spark curiosity. This workshop celebrates the poetry of found objects and the magic that happens when everyday materials are reimagined through an artist’s eye. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity, playfulness, and a willingness to explore. Participants will gain confidence in creative reuse and assemblage techniques, and develop a personal visual language using found materials.
A $20 materials fee is to be paid directly to the instructor for additional materials (various found objects, wood pieces, dowels, bass wood sticks, assortment of papers, tools to cut wood pieces, hardware, eye hooks, wire, multiple glues and epoxy).
