In this workshop we will use recycled paper to create vessels that symbolize our body’s experience of trauma. We will be working to transform literal and metaphorical “waste” by forming a relationship with it, showcasing how we are shaped by our lives, and have the ability to grow and transform, finding wisdom within our process. This is an opportunity to introspect. These vessels will become lighting fixtures and be displayed as an installation at the final event symbolizing the insight that comes from slowing down and being with our own resiliency. The intent of this workshop is to work through emotional transformation so it is not suggested as a drop-in workshop for kids. If children are to come, we recommend for them to be over the age of 11. What to expect: Papermaking Introspective Writing and Thinking Guidelines: Bring your own paper! Sort by color! YES: Letters, matte paper, tissue paper, newspaper, junk mail NO: Shiny, waxy, or glossy paper, paper with plastic tape, cardboard.

Quirky Characters, Illustrated Patches Student Exhibition Opening
2024-04-19 17:00 - 19:00 | Joshua Tree Visitor Center, 9800 Black Rock Canyon Rd, Yucca Valley, 92284, United States
This show is exhibiting 810 selected works from over 6000 pieces created from Season 5, Project 5 where elementary students from 11 schools tried their hand at illustration by developing their own unique character. Using simple lines and shapes, they drew characters and then transferred them to fabric patches that can be traded with a friend, given to someone they love, or worn on a shirt. This project is an exercise in “less is more” and an opportunity to celebrate our weird, wonderful, and not-so-perfect selves. This project was inspired by local, Joshua Tree artist, Shari Elf. Shari is a mixed media artist, storyteller, singer, songwriter, printmaker, upcycled fashion designer, and crochet museum curator. The playful quality of her art reflects her uninhibited nature. Shari is an uncategorizable artist, who uses her art as a way to heal and to help others feel welcome. Her found-art objects and silk-screened patches share uplifting messages that are funny, joyous, and inspiring.
