Mobile-making workshop on Saturday April 19

Paul Sikora, a lawyer by day but designer of mobiles in his spare time (they can be seen here http://www.lightspacemobiles.com/ as well as in several venues around the world), will be conducting his annual mobile making workshops in his studio/loft in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, Apartment 5, 29 Kings SE Court, Washington, DC.

At the beginners' workshop, beginning at 1 PM, Paul will demonstrate how Alexander Calder applied just two basic balancing principles/techniques to make all the works in the art form he invented in Paris. Attendees will then apply them to make their own and take home.

The advanced workshop will follow at 1:30 PM, discussing techniques, materials, sources of ideas, books, and whatever else interests anyone.

Everyone is welcome to attend either or both.   Both workshops are free because the materials are really cheap and Paul has too much fun to charge.    Please let Paul know you are coming soi that he can have enough materials on hand:  paulsikora@earthlink.net

The beginners' workshop works for ages 8 and up. The studio is inartfully childproofed--drugs are hidden and obvious pointy objects tucked away.
