Bamboo Art workshop at Arrowmont with Charissa Brock - July 15-21, 2012
Bamboo - flexible, hollow, strong and beautiful - has become more popular in the United States in the past decade. Used in industry for everything from clothing to flooring to beauty products, bamboo has long been revered as a fine art, craft, and architectural material in other parts of the world. Come discover the allure of this sustainable material as we slice, split, sew, drill and bend the remarkable bamboo plant. Learn how to use tools and apply technique in order to create finished pieces. Instructor demonstrations and mini-lectures will be plentiful.
