Giant bugs

I'll be teaching a couple of weeks of summer camp at Place des Arts this summer. I think I mainly agreed to do it because the theme is papier mache bugs - and how could anyone not want to make giant papier mache bugs? Here are the samples that I've made.



At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to teach art to kids, but I've come to realize that I enjoy coming up with project ideas and making the samples for myself. Seeing the kids enjoy the creative process is an added bonus. I especially love how the art they make looks nothing like my samples.

Vancouver Mini Maker Faire this weekend.

The Vancouver Mini Maker Faire is a popular annual outing in our house. It's one of those rare things that every family member is actually enthusiastic about attending. If you've never been, I'd highly recommend it. It is not at all like a regular craft fair with vendors selling their stuff. While there are usually some things for sale, the maker faire is all about people showing off the stuff they like to make. There are all kinds of weird and wonderful things there. It's a hard thing to describe. You just have to go see for yourself.



I'll be there this Saturday doing a Junk Journalling workshop 11:45-1:45pm
