MAKER MAKER: DIY Vinyl Stickers with Jerry Ropson
MAKER MAKER is back! Join us for our first workshop of the fall and learn to make your own hand-cut vinyl stickers with Sackville artist Jerry Ropson.
Cut and layer shiny sign vinyl to make one-of-a-kind stickers to embellish everything from your notebooks to your phone case. Make mini-stickers, bumper slogans and sweet gifts for friends.
We’ve ordered up a kaleidoscope of colours for inspiration and we’ll have all the tools you’ll need to get started.
Jerry Ropson maintains an unconventional art practice that crosses media and scale, from multifaceted installations and site-specific interventions to tiny, photocopied zines and ceramic miniatures. He is a storyteller and collector whose work explores rural experience and his own upbringing in the small community of Pollards Point in Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland). Jerry is an Associate Professor in the Fine Arts Department at Mount Allison University where he teaches painting, drawing, performance and advanced seminar.
MAKER MAKER is a monthly program of seriously small after-hours art workshops. Led by diverse Maker Mentors, each workshop introduces a pocket-sized art project that can be made in two hours or less. Designed for accomplished and aspiring makers alike, MAKER MAKER is for anyone interested in making small things by hand with friends and fellow makers. This informal workshop series explores how working small can be practical, portable and playful, economical, sharable and even wearable.
MAKER MAKER is free, and all materials are provided, no registration required. This program is made possible thanks to the New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture and the Municipality of Tantramar.
