Ken Malson is known for his unique perspective on how to use an array of interesting materials to formulate ideas and meaning into the art of assemblage. He has many years of experience in what he calls “cutting and putting” the equivalent of attaching foreign objects to each other in a cohesive and esthetic reality.

Assemblage Art and the Pursuit of Mischief
The emphasis of this workshop will be to acquire a high level of craftsmanship and develop compositional integrity. We will have three assigned projects using my materials or yours or a combination of each. I will set out some simple guidelines and supply three different substrates to enhance our creative adventure. I will supply tools and plenty of fasteners and adhesives. We will also be looking at some creative ways of using some alternative materials such as polyester resin and tile mastic.

Project 1: We will be using sheet metal as the primary material on a wood substrate. Imagination required!

Project 2: We will be using a game board as the substrate and attaching found objects and other useful items to build our composition.

Project 3: Is a surprise. Last time we used a wood crutch as one of the substrates, this time I will bring something equally as interesting as a starting point for your creativity.

A wide range of artist tools and materials will be explored!  For additional information see web site www.malsonart.com.
