Hello all!
Summer is almost here and there are lots of things happening! I am so excited to be able to be a part of the Frida Exhibition that is coming to the SFMOMA next week! I will be the guest artist running the family program in the Koret Education Center!
The project is called, The Many Faces of Frida. I had the honor and privilege of creating a family day project to go along with exhibition. We will be making flat nichos/retablos type pieces with the families that visit the museum that day.
You can check out some samples of what we will be creating here:

My medium of choice when creating my nichos is tooling aluminum-soft tin that is easy to carve intricate designs into. The participating families will be improvising and using aluminum foil covered cardboard and a post card of frida for their piece.
If you would like to participate in this project, please join us on June 15, 2008 at:
