The next terrarium workshop will be held at the Chicago Cultural Center as part of my Prairie exhibition there. This workshop is the brainchld of students in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts Administration program. Here is the information from their post. Check it out! Note that pre-registration is required!
Shawn Decker’s dynamic installation calls our attention to the self-organizing behavior of natural systems. As a journey into this largescale sound ecosystem, we invite you to participate in a hands-on succulent terrarium workshop onsite. Crafting these self-contained environments will not only allow you to experience the installation ina unique way, but also allow you to take away a tangible reminder of your sonic experience.
Materials will be provided along with a brief tutorial for a hands-on succulent terrarium workshop in the Sid Yates Gallery. The terrarium assembly will be an immersive complement that gives form to your personal engagement with Prairie. These terrariums will be a tangible take-away and a living reminder of your sonic experience. The workshops are free but space is limited. Please register at prairie.exhibit@gmail.com.
