Kari S. has been working on painting one of her 3D Kari S. has been working on painting one of her 3D printed creations! Kari’s favorite part of making this model on the computer was the eyes and all of it’s facial features. She rendered and assembled the pieces using a 3D modeling app which is conceptualized around working with real clay.

Meet John Avant, Associate Program Manager What w Meet John Avant, Associate Program Manager

What would you tell someone who is thinking about working with JSDD?

“I would tell them it is a fun environment; they encourage you to flow with your creativity and what you want to do. They give you a voice and the space to grow and to let you bring something new to the agency.”

In Printmaking class with Onnie S., members recent In Printmaking class with Onnie S., members recently created colorful mobiles made with collaged monotype prints on cardboard.

Onnie says, “At the WAE Center, we work to help people explore their talents and abilities in a physical and intellectual way; we also don’t like to waste anything.”

In that context, his class made colorful monoprints on Gelli plates while learning the principles of color mixing and design. The monoprints that would not be used for member’s portfolios were collected to create collages on corrugated cardboard. Members used wire, colorful art yarns and pieces cut up from the collages to make the colorful and whimsical mobiles which now hang by the windows found in the Maker’s studio.
