This Sunday, May 5th, 2013, join me and the aliens as we discuss "Thinking Physically ~ creating characters from hibernating thoughts and re-cycled materials. 





There will also be a hands on workshop for roughing in your character in 3-D using an assortment of materials.




The cool thing about playing around in the third dimension is that you never know who you might meet. This guy (above), it turns out, is a Magyar bass player with robotic arms.

Come play and let loose. Discover some surprising characters who live between your head and your hands; who are waiting for you to give them the go ahead. And while you are at the Tacoma Art Museum check out the fabulous exhibit: BEYOND BOOKS: The Independent Art of Eric Carle.
