🖨Brochure
Assemblage Sisters workshops are designed to give flexibility to educators and learners. We ask you to choose a workshop then choose the types of materials you would like to use. Let us know what themes or topics you have been discussing in class and any particular techniques and skills you would like us to focus on.
Most of our workshops can be taught to all ages. We tailor each workshop to the needs of the group. For example, our Assemblage workshop can be modified for the early Childhood learning context by using larger materials that enable children to thread independently. For young children we provide simple tools and encourage students to thread and tie, sort and count, and organise their materials.
Thematic Workshops
Workshop suggestions
Collaborative Assemblage
Students work together to create an ephemeral work of art from found objects. Students become familiar with selection of appropriate materials, tools and construction techniques.
Automata
In this workshop students use found objects and discards to create their own moving sculptures. Creating cams, cogs and spindles students explore some basic mechanical principles.
Paper Assemblage
Using traditional techniques of quilling, origami, kirigami, collage, decollage and papier mache, students are challenged to break with traditional craft conventions and explore the possibilities of paper and discarded paper-based materials.
Modelling, Scenes and Dioramas
In this workshop students learn techniques for making great models with everyday materials. found Discussion included aesthetics, symmetry and exploring the potential of reuse.
Drawing & Painting for all ages
