Sixth art demo day slated at Dahmen

The sixth annual Art Demonstration Day will be April 14 at Dahmen Barn from 11 am to 4 p.m. This year’s theme is creating with recycled or found objects.

Twelve visiting artists will join 16 resident artists, and all will demonstrate how they work with recycled materials.

Visitors can watch each artist at work and learn how they choose their materials and how they incorporate them into functional, decorative or wearable art. The range of approaches using found materials is amazing– Rik Fromdahl carves peach pits and John Elwood makes “canjos,” a form of banjo using a Cougar Gold cheese can.

Several woodworkers will demonstrate wood turning. A complete list of artists and what they do may be found on the calendar listing at http://www.artisanbarn.org.
