Wild Materials Craft Lab

Join guest artists Chiaki O’Brien and Shea Maze for an evening of hands-on art-making inspired by the materials we encounter every day. Inspired by artist Suzanne Jackson’s resourcefulness and experimentation, these local artists’ practices explore how natural elements and found objects can become tools for creative expression.Participants are invited to experiment with artist-designed activities using recycled supplies, organic materials, and unconventional techniques. Through guided exploration, you’ll discover new ways of working with texture, form, and process while reimagining the creative possibilities of the world around us.Activities are designed for all ages and experience levels. Materials are provided and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
