Join artist Aaron Kramer for a hands-on workshop exploring the playful mechanics of automata. These are simple machines that use movement to bring small sculptures to life. Inspired by the Aaron Kramer: Sense of Wonder exhibition, participants will learn how he transforms salvaged materials, mechanical parts, and curiosity into imaginative kinetic creations. In this workshop, Kramer will guide you step by step in designing and building your own small automata machine using metal components and hand tools. As you bend, shape, and assemble the parts, you’ll discover how simple mechanical systems can create surprising movement and storytelling. All materials are included in the workshop fee. This workshop is best suited for teens and adults, as it requires some dexterity and strength to use the metal-bending tools. Kramer will provide guidance and assistance throughout the process to ensure everyone can successfully complete their piece. Come ready to experiment, tinker, and bring a bit of motion and wonder to your own handmade creation. Ticket Prices: Adult: $75 Member: $55 Space is limited. Register today!
