Weird Wonderful Windows– Mixed Media Light Boxes w/ Michael deMeng

Full waiting list started

Friday September 21st 10 am—5pm Cost $95 by 9/1 or $115 after 9/1 Plus $25 kit fee

Michael will show you how to transform simple wooden boxes into mixed media light boxes—electrical assemblage! Actually, the finished project is a little more interesting than that; you will be creating weird and wonderful windows. These little portholes will peek through layers and layers of imagery into an ethereal world. Multiple layers of glass, photo transparencies, paint and bits of assemblage are all that's needed to take this visual journey...oh, I guess we need light bulbs too. Kit Fee of $25 includes the wooden box, glass inserts, light fixture, bulb, and cord
