Workshop: Collage with Herrat Sommerhoff (Sunday April 27)
Enter the colorful world of sculptor & painter Herrat Sommerhoff in this Sunday workshop presentation at ACNNJ.
Learn to see found objects and everyday items in new ways, sparking creativity from daily experiences that need not be mundane.
As a practitioner and advocate in found object collage, assemblage & sculpture for decades, Herrat is the consumate guide to recycling objects, considering and valuing each component.
This initial workshop focuses on collage, creating 2-D art out of a range of material, from the sentimental to bits of scrap. Create cut paper shapes that appeal to you and find a kaleidoscope of possibilities in composition. Assorted papers and glue sticks will be available. Bring any scraps of paper, fabric, small mementos, labels or ephemera you may wish to incorporate.
Special family group pricing!
NEW YORK TIMES art critic William Zimmer:
“…The work of Herrat Sommerhoff is in the tradition of good old American Dada, a tradition that does not only use found objects in an ironic way, but rather celebrates them. ...Ms. Sommerhoff is one of those artists who regard trash not as an eye sore but as a golden opportunity.”
