Details
Our artist-led workshops are designed to make community connections between our guests, local artists, and The Dayton Art Institute through conversation and artmaking. Select from the session options above. Space is limited and spots fill up quickly. Advanced reservation is strongly encouraged. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your session.
Led by local artists Kyle and Kelly Phelps these two-day workshops engage guests in the molding and casting process. As a participant, you will learn the basics of mold-making to create a life cast of your hand to create a story-telling sculpture. All materials will be provided by the Dayton Art Institute. No experience is necessary. Kyle and Kelly Phelps are identical twin artists and professors based in Ohio who collaborate on ceramic, sculpture and mixed-media work highlighting the experiences and struggles of blue-collar workers, race relations and everyday people, drawing on their upbringing in a Midwestern factory town. They are currently featured as the Dayton Art Institute’s Yeck Artists in Residence and their artwork is on display in our Lange Family Experiencenter.
Please note: This is a two-day workshop, with the second day held outside, weather permitting. This workshop is only for ages 13+. Power tools and chemicals are used in the molding and casting process.
Dates: April 4 and 11 (two-day workshop), May 2 and 9 (two-day workshop) and July 11 and 18 (two-day workshop)
