Boxy but Good - Intro to Cornell Boxes

  • The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck 6 Wonson Street Gloucester, MA, 01930 (map)

American artist Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) made exquisite, personal and complex dioramas. Maybe you want to build an alter to a person or a place. Perhaps you want to build a momento mori or memory garden.  No prior experience necessary. Class led by artist/educator (and Director of Newburyport Art) Belle Carver Struck will bring examples and demonstrate options for assemblage.

Materials: Bring your magic bits, the weird stuff from your drawers, old hardware, cloth remainders, maps, old books, stamps-anything you might want to use for a 3D collage in a box. Bring a box too! We will provide boxes and all materials if you don't want to bring anything, but your stuff makes it personal. We will also provide adhesive, hot glue, drills and other sundry tools for attaching.

Cost: RNAC Member: $60 | Non-RNAC Member: $75
