Peter Powning:
Big Project? No Problem!
Have an idea for an installation or project, but don’t know how to start?
Developing a public art proposal or applying for a grant and need some advice?
Whether you are working small or large, with clay or mixed media, this workshop could help make your dream project a reality. Award-winning New Brunswick artist Peter Powning welcomes individual project questions provided one month in advance, so he can research specific information and customize the workshop to best suit each student.
Spend the day in an intimate setting of only 12 students, interacting directly with Peter – ‘brainstorming and picking his brain’ and then leave with valuable ‘must know’ and ‘how to’ technical and design advice.
