Climate Week Workshop: Textured Wall Art
In this hands-on workshop hosted by Oh, SAND! Art Studio, you'll craft your own original 3D wall art using textiles, plaster, and paint — while discovering the philosophy of upcycling: the idea that beauty doesn't always require something new, just a fresh perspective on what's already here.
Upcycling means giving discarded or forgotten materials a second life, rather than letting them end up in a landfill. It's a creative practice rooted in the belief that what already exists is often more interesting — and more sustainable — than anything newly made.
As part of the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to weave salvaged materials into your design — a chance to see how forgotten textures and found elements can become the most interesting part of a piece.
How it works:
In your first session on April 18th (2 hours), you'll learn to layer, shape, and build the foundation of your artwork. You'll experiment freely with form and texture. Once your piece has cured, you'll return for a second session on May 10th (1.5–2 hours) to sand, refine, and apply surface finishes and paint effects that bring your design fully to life.
A few details:
2 sessions (both included in the price): April 18th and May 10th
Open to all skill levels — no prior experience needed
Limited to 6 participants for an intimate, unhurried experience
All materials provided
Hosted in a relaxed backyard garden/studio
You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece made entirely by your own hands — and maybe a new way of looking at the materials already in your life.
