A cutaway of a cell. The food chain. The visible light spectrum. A dinosaur skeleton. The layers of the Earth\, from the crust to the core. Each of these scientific concepts immediately conjure vivid\, colorful images in our collective minds\, thanks to the diligent and tireless work of science textbook artists. Come see how our artistic community has explored these concepts of science! Expect to see photography\, experiments\, paintings\, sculptures and media that illustrate the science of our surroundings. \nJoin us for the opening reception on Friday\, August 2 between 7-9pm to meet curators Aaron Fletchersmith and Amanda Fletchersmith and the artists.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Playing with Resin Workshop (Register by 8/23)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Tracy Wilkerson\, recycledworks@yahoo.com\nDate/Time: Sunday\, August 25 from 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee\nClass size: 6-12 participants\n(Register by August 23) \nLearn the ins and outs of prepping for and mixing resin\, and how to use it as an adhesive\, a covering\, or the main medium. There’s lots of creative time during this 3-hour workshop… No need to rush\, which is one of the first lessons in using resin! All supplies are provided\, but feel free to bring personal embellishments for your piece(s). \nThis workshop does not get into using dyes with resin or building big molds to create one-of-a-kind resined tables (as seen on YouTube)\, but this workshop will provide you with a good understanding of how resin works so you can be bold enough to take the next steps in your creative interests. \nAlthough the class is listed for 3 hours\, you can leave once you have finished your creations. Some students finish very quickly while others take the whole 3 hours to create – there is plenty of time for each person to enjoy the creative process while not feeling rushed. You’ll leave your finished masterpiece(s) to set at the gallery at the end of the workshop\, and pick them up during gallery hours later in the week. \nThe workshop is designed for adults. Children ages 16-17 may participate with parental permission. Children ages 12-15 may participate only with a co-participating adult guardian (guardian must contact instructor in advance). \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
