Workshop: Kids Are Such Pests! (for kids), 3:30-5pm. Hosted by Carey and Wilder Christie, and Jeff Larson. Ever notice how adults are always telling kids to “go away,” or “be quiet”? When you’re a kid, you just can’t help bugging everyone around you. Maybe because it’s fun!!! So, while the grown ups are building an art garden with light-up technology, we kids are going to create a bunch of garden pests that have never even existed before! At this workshop we’ll use simple technologies like tiny recorders and LED lights in sculptures and costumes of the most fantastic kinds of insects you can possibly imagine. Bring your favorite pictures of bugs and anything else that inspires you and be ready to make art and play games with the other pests. Registration is not required, but encouraged.
