Join Platform artist Miguel Aquilizan for a free-form sculpture workshop. As a sculptor, Aquilizan is intuitive in his inquiry, improvisational in his approach, and inventive in his use of diverse materials. Learn about the art of assemblage as he shares his personal insights on making sculpture, tips and techniques. Using a range of found objects and repurposed materials, participants will be guided to make their own sculptures. Materials will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring along their own found objects to create a uniquely personal work.
