Making Mobiles (Limited Offering)
Adult Intensive | Registration opens 11/5/2025 9:00 AM EST
In the tradition of mobile maker extraordinaire Alexander Calder, you'll learn the basics of crafting a kinetic sculpture. We'll explore balance and positioning hanging items for maximum motion, and you'll use wire, thread, swivel hooks, and a few of your favorite things to make your first mobile.
- Students are required to bring 10 small items to dangle from their sculptures that are not too big or heavy.
Due to a set of stairs, this classroom is not wheelchair accessible.
