	Michael deMeng

Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Process and Project

 

I have to admit I’ve made my share of shriney structures, in my day, and I have created them from a variety of unusual items ranging from license plates to stoves to shoes. This class will involve some serious downsizing and transforming small objects like matchboxes, lighter cases, piano keys, or other miniature vessels. Using a variety of itsy bitsy found objects you will adorn this little pocket sized temple. What is housed in your little shrine is entirely up to you… perhaps tiny model train people, perhaps a small object that has symbolic meaning for you, or maybe you happen to be friends with the Incredible Shrinking Man. Get ready to get tiny with your shriney.

Students should bring:
• matchboxes, tiny boxes, cigar tubes, lighter cases, or other miniature vessel that will be your main shrine structure
• teeny tiny doodads - could be anything from Milagros to decorative buttons to souvenir spoons
