CIRCUS OF THE CURIOUS AND MISBEGOTTEN - a Workshop of the Wonderfully Weird

OREGON COAST WORKSHOP

Lincoln City Cultural Center - Lincoln City, Oregon

May 7, 8, 9, and 10, 2027 (Four-Day Workshop)

Workshop Description: Step right up, my fine and freakish friends! Behind this tent flap lies a world of wonder—a traveling troupe of curious souls and misbegotten marvels, each built from the bits and bones of forgotten things.

In this mixed-media workshop, we'll create our own sideshow icons: part saint, part scoundrel, all spectacular. Using found objects, sculptural materials, and acrylic paint, we'll conjure a carnival of characters and curiosities—tattooed mystics, maniacal strongmen, contortionist clowns, shrine-like tributes to the marvelous misfits of the midway, and other oddities born of rust, relics, and imagination.

Expect plenty of painted alchemy, assemblage wizardry, and a few tall tales of woe and wonder. You'll learn to age, adorn, and assemble your piece into something that feels plucked from a traveling carnival's corner stall—a sight both strange and sublime.

So gather your scraps and wonders, your broken bits and junk drawer goodies.

The circus is rolling into town—and you are part of the act.

Enrollment Starts September 1st
