Button-making in Banff: Little art, big fun.
Posted in: UncategorizedI’ll be Banff this Saturday afternoon, so if you’re in the mood for making 1-inch pins in a camper trailer in the mountains (for free), then I’ll see you there!
Saturday, August 8, 2009: 11am – 3pm
Banff Avenue Square
This summer the Walter Philips Gallery in Banff will work again with TRUCK Artist-Run Centre for the Banff Culture Walk event presenting an all-ages button-making studio. Make 1-inch button pins from art created with found images, drawing, dry-transfer lettering and typewriters. The workshop is led by Calgary-based designer Janine Vangool. Through her company and gallery, UPPERCASE, Janine publishes books and magazines on visual culture and makes unique handmade papergoods. Playing with Banff National Park’s international draw for outdoor recreation and leisure, the workshop will be hosted out of TRUCK’s Contemporary Art Mobile Public Exhibition Rig, aka CAMPER, a refurbished RV that brings art workshops and artists’ projects to outdoor festivals.
