Free Art Workshops in Redwood City

In order to learn and be inspired from the Redwood City community, Taylor and Fung Collaboratives have developed an ambitious series of free community workshops for everyone to participate.  Throughout the entire summer, 26 free public workshops are being offered for children and adults alike in the topics of photography, papermaking, and handmade book classes.  In addition, participants and onlookers are asked to participate in sharing their memorable stories to be embedded into the final sculpture through conceptual and literal approaches.  Each workshop participant will not only learn about the Sesquicentennial and the Public Artwork commission but will also be able to make their own artwork to take home.  Others may offer some of the work they made to the artist so that the materials may be added or lead to inspiration of the final artistic outcome.

Local artists from Redwood City and the Peninsula were selected to teach the workshops.  Erin Ashford (photography), Karen Chew, Cathy xxx, Susie Peyton (Book Making), Jamila Rufaro (Papermaking), Marian Fung (Sharing of RWC experiences & history).  In order to reach the widest array of Redwood City participants, The Parks and Recreation Department and Public Library System have partnered in offering diverse locations throughout the city so that we reach all of the varying neighborhoods for participation.
