Monster Making at the Studio!

Brenda Dunn has been getting in trouble for crayoning on the walls for as long as she can remember. She eventually went to art school at the University of Guelph and drew on whatever the hell she wanted.​She works and plays in Ottawa where she came for grad school and just stuck around ever since. She learned a lot of busy words during her Masters in English Lit, but it turns out she actually prefers the visual to the verbal when it comes to communication.She also doesn't totally get why these things are always written in the third person but concedes that it does just sort of feel right.

We’re going to be building beasts and making monsters and we need Monster Makers to do it! <A HREF="http://www.artinjest.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Brenda</A> is one of the makers behind the <A HREF="https://kitchissippi.com/2016/02/05/hintonbeast-invasion-is-imminent/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Hintonbeasts, Guardians of the ‘Burg </A>and she wants to teach you how to make your very own creature to guard your room, your home, your school, your sock drawer…
In this workshop, each Monster Maker will use sculpey clay to build a beast of their very own.
Monster makers should be people with big imaginations who want to play with clay!

If you are a VERY small Monster Maker, please bring along a Monster Maker Manager. That is someone who is big enough to drive a car or use an oven, but sometimes needs to practice having a big imagination. Monster Makes last about 2 hours, one hour to make, and one hour for some surprise activities while the monsters bake.
Grown up stuff: Materials for one monster are included in the enrollment fee. This workshop takes place in the artist's residence and studio which is a household with a cat! If you are deadly allergic to kitties please wait until the next monster make!
Don’t wear your fanciest shoes or your favourite clothes. Clay can be messy if you’re doing it right.
