Unthings

Rhizome DC

Unthings provides children with the opportunity to explore, create, and learn — in groups and individually. Each week a team of two to three artists/mentors will provide materials, ideas, and guidance in a supportive and creative environment. Kids will have the space and time to engage with and explore their own ideas and questions, while learning and creating collaboratively. In previous sessions we have made collaborative sculptures using materials such as wire, small objects, lids, magazines, and words; collected natural objects to make mobiles; made sound circuits and light boxes; harvested and planted crops at the nearby urban farm; wrote collaborative stories and poems; worked with natural/local materials to make eco-prints with steam bundling; made a harp; and more. Activities in the upcoming sessions: -Fiber arts (crochet into felt, dyeing woolen yarns, indigo vat w/shibori silks) -Word games: story-telling (oral and written) generated in various ways, making a chapbook out of student work -Improv games -Building with wood -Cooking/fermentation -Worm composting/compost tea -Tending seedlings for community garden project -Mosaics   Ages: 9+ When: February 23 - March 30 (6 weeks) Day/Time: Thursdays 10:00am - 1:00pm (Note: We don’t have space for parents or siblings to wait, so this will be drop off only.)  Cost: $270 To Pay by check: email lbumstead@mac.com to reserve a place, then bring a check to the first session.  To Pay online: click the registration button below (Eventbrite processing fees apply)
