Join PlySpace Resident Fellow Dana Lynn Harper for an amazing afternoon of wand-making! This free workshop is open to children and adults - no RSVP necessary. The workshop will be held in the Cantina at Minnetrista on November 2nd, from 2-4 PM. Participants are welcome to arrive at any time between 2 and 3:30 PM and can create a wand using materials provided by PlySpace and the artist. What will your wand do? What will it look like? What magic does it hold?

Dana Harper often uses fantastic materials and creative processes in her work. She writes, “In our contemporary world, we often see wands as part of a costume or fantasy. But the wand is an empowering object that emboldens the user to recognize their own power. We will explore the wand as an object that conjures empowerment, magic and manifestation.”

The workshop format will be free-form and self-directed, with colorful materials set up at stations around the room. The artist and assistants from Ball State University will be on hand to give guidance. One wand will take approximately 30-40 minutes to make. Each participant will leave with their own wand, a representation of their own ability to change and affect the world in which they live. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and all are welcome (ages 3+)!

Dana will also present an exhibition of her work on First Thursday, November 7, from 5-8 PM at the PlySpace Gallery!
