I was a little sad to take down my exhibition at Greenbelt Community Center today. Every event that was associated with the show was so much fun, and the community center itself is a super cool place.
But, I am happy to announce that I have a workshop coming up at the end of this month at the American Visionary Art Museum. Feel free come out and make your clothes sparkle!
From the AVAM website:
Saturday • February 28 • 2PM-5PM: Electric Pickles, Electronic Sewing & LED Accessories with Bonnie Crawford Kotula
One of two separate workshops on a day full of Bright Ideas! Get ready for AVAM's AfterGlow Party on March 28th...or simply get ready to inspire awe and fascination on the streets of Baltimore after dark. Students will learn about simple electronic circuits, and how to make these circuits with alternative materials. The workshop will begin with demonstrations of the conductive or resistant properties of every day materials. Examples include electric pickles, potato batteries and testing the resistance of household items such as toothpaste, pasta, or glue. Each student will bring a personal garment or accessory to modify with tiny lights and safe low voltage “button” batteries. Some good examples of things that can be modified include hair wrap/ head bands, bracelets, or garments with a zipper. Each participant will use a basic electronic sewing kit provided by AVAM to stitch in miniature Light Emitting Diodes. Pre-registration is requested, please call 410.244.1900. Members $20, Non-Members $35 (Call to inquire about family discounts and special rates for those interested in also attending the "Illuminated Hats" workshop this same day.)
