Join us on Saturday, October 12th from 3-5pm for a workshop led by artist Wyn Geleynse, who created the 2024 FCG artist multiple in collaboration with Jason Dickson. The workshop will instruct how to cut, fold and construct the paper artist multiple, which consists of a selection of books on a bookshelf chosen collaboratively between the two. And yes, even the bookshelf is paper!
The workshop is open to all FCG members. Not a member? No problem! You can sign up for the artist’s membership either below or the day of. We also have several Pay it Forward memberships available. If these are of interest, please feel free to reach out to info@forestcitygallery.com.
We hope to see you there!
