Assemblage Dolls: Mannequins, Maquettes and Marionettes

Your VCAC has been taken over by... dolls! There's an outstanding number of assemblage dolls adorning our Centre Gallery, all hand-made and uniquely created by local artists. This show is absolutely captivating, and each time you have a look there's something (or someone) new to see. Full of vibrant colours and well thought-out materials, each and every piece is it's own singular character with a distinct personality. We have dolls made out of feathers, kinder surprises, clay, paper mache, wire, beads, fabric, miscellaneous household items, paint and so much more. You won't believe how great this show is unless you see it for yourself! Assemblage Dolls: Mannequins, Maquettes and Marionettes will be showing from now until June 22 at your VCAC Centre Gallery.

Due to the success of that demo, we've decided to have an impromptu Relief Mold Making for Paper Sculpture class, where you, too, can learn to do your own paper relief pieces. students will learn to build up and sculpt a relief image out of modeling clay, then make a rubber mold of the work and a plaster support. Students will then cast their own paper relief sculpture, and be shown various surface techniques. The class will run Thursdays, May 17th–June 7th 9:30am–12:30pm and is $60 for Members and $70 for Non Members. Register now!

LOCKER REMOVAL

While the floor is almost done and looking super fantastic, we're looking at improving our lockers, and as such it will be closer to the end of April before they get placed back into the hallway. If you're interested in renting a locker for $60 a year, please let us know at the beginning of May and we'll see what we can do for you! It's a great way to keep your tools here instead of lugging them back and forth!
