Assemblings of a Mad Watchmaker	9 - 4 Wednesday
	Michael deMeng	$145

Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Process and Project
Prerequisite: None

As you know time keeps on slipping slipping slipping into the future. Because of this you should do something with it before it leaves completely. Grab those watches because we are going to dismantle and then remantle them in strange and peculiar ways. Using processing involving assemblage and painting you will modify these little devices into something that will bend time. When finished then can be used as a amulet, medallion or as something strange for your curio cabinet. It might even be possible for it to keep on ticking after it takes a licking.

Students should bring:
A pocket watch, compact, or locket. Some companies sell basic watch housings without the innards. …like Tim Holtz or Somerset.
Variety of small found objects that might be interesting additions like more watch parts, gears, typewriter parts, milagros, bolts, pieces of old metal, small train figures, glass eyes…anything.
