-Adult- | This program is completed
What options do we have for more environmentally and bodily friendly approaches to art making? This talk will focus on how to make material and process choices that support your art practice without undue negative impacts on the environment, your health or that of others. What are the potential hazards of art materials and who and what is most at risk? What materials are safe for children to use? What criteria should we use to ensure we make the best choices and what are some alternatives to conventional approaches that are more bodily and earth friendly? Join in for some engaging discussion.
FREE. Advanced registration required. Thursday.
