Lost, Found and Reinvented in Mexico Contemporary Found Object Shrine Making  |
Arrival May 18 - depart 24, 2008 a five day workshop, 6 night stay Well, if deMeng is teaching, it usually means something involving shrines, and who am I to disappoint you. This is a 5 day art adventure in which we will be creating shrines using mixed media and found objects...found objects we find wandering through the Mexican town of Puerto Vallarta. Old shoes, rusty machine parts, license plates, who knows what we'll find and that is the adventure. Then, back in the class, we will assemble, collage, paint, etc. the work into fruition. Mexico is so rich in inspriration when it comes to shrines, that we'll explore a number of possible styles and designs including Nichos, Quadalupes, Ex Votos, and Retablos. Time to turn that trash into treasure. Oh, and don't worry, we'll still have time for margaritas. |
Five day workshop, 6 night stay. Price is $1400Based on double occupancy |

Just when I think I have my lifes schedule figured out........dam!
I'll be in Cabo next week. Not a great art and history scene but the margaritas are good. Puerta Vallarta however, has a great art atmosphere AND margaritas.
I've had my eye on this place for some time. Very tempting.....
