“I’m still working on my “SELF” (HA!)”
Artist at work Unwinding her Mind
I’m not sure why I insist on using my fingers when working with charcoal…they always crack and bleed, but I am getting more savvy about using a Chamois…or paper towel in this case. — at Sacred Shadow Studio for the Mind Unwind June Exhibit.
Still need to figure out how to make the wall panels movable so the doors they will be hiding can be accessed easily throughout the exhibition to make space for classes and other events in the Gallery. Click images for more about this piece by the artist.
Included in the June exhibition called “The Sacred Shadow Self” will be a seascape of shadows made by large-scale Origami structures including an 11 foot Origami Albatross folded by 3rd grader Cole Durnwirth and an Origami Sea Anemone assembled by 3rd grader Caroline Byrne.

Ages 9 and up will learn how to produce professional quality videos at a low to no budget. Our instructors will guide kids through video concept (writing & planning, shot-lists, pre-production); production (lighting & shooting video);and post production (editing and uploading). Young directors/filmmakers will ultimately upload their personal youtube videos on their own personal channel. This camp encourages kids to be creative, helpful, informative & collaborative. Their videos can be for education, for marketing, or simply to make a viral video. It is up to each child to submit and get their video idea okay before start of the course. There will be homework….not every evening, but work outside the studio will be required. Video Club will meet after school for 6 weeks on Fridays at 4pm until 6:00pm.
$350/6 week session.
The current instructor is Mark Brent. Learn more about him.

- Patricia Anne Davis, Navajo Wisdom Keeper
Part of what my great joy in making art is seeing how ideas end up manifesting as they change and adapt to different circumstances. Hope you’ll come play with your sacred shadow self!
