On Thursday, October 29, 15 high school art students from Collaborative Art and Advanced Art classes visited Mainframe Studios and the Pappajohn Sculpture Park! 🎨
While at Mainframe Studios, students toured several artists' studios and participated in a mixed-media workshop. Some of their favorite highlights included learning about the art of felting from fiber artist Megan Hammer, visiting Kyle Kirwan’s designer toy studio and Jess Quinn’s painting studio, watching glassblowing demonstrations at JJ Gaffers Glass Blowing Studio, and creating their own works of art to take home during the workshop.
The day wrapped up with lunch and a walk through the sculpture park!
