What to get your heart set on in this workshop
In this class we’ll rip, nail, stab, break, burn, screw, grind wood, metal & glass discarded heart-shaped items for twisted valentines. This one-day workshop will serve as an introduction to assemblage art materials, tools, tales and techniques. Assemblage art is creating 3D collage/sculpture with repurposed items and found objects. Materials will be provided to experiment with the concepts and techniques including curating, composition, fastening, hanging and finishing.

Making Connections
What makes Steve Parmelee's work extraordinary is his ability to tell stories through his work. When you view his work, you realize it's saying something very special. Sometimes it can be open to interpretation, but the story is front and center. The power of the work is at the intersection of the stories of the individual objects, that when brought together, tell a whole new narrative.
