BRATTLEBORO-Artist Emily Noelle Lambert, whose work is featured in the group exhibit "Making Space" at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (BMAC), leads a workshop called "Collage Logic" on Saturday, Aug. 2, from 2 to 4 p.m., at Brattleboro's River Gallery School.
A practicing artist and art educator, Lambert will encourage workshop participants to explore the intersection of collage with sculpture, drawing, and painting to develop a small series of mixed media works.
Admission to the workshop is $45 ($30 for BMAC members). Advance registration is required. This workshop is best suited for adults ages 16 and up. To register, visit brattleboromuseum.org or call 802-257-0124, ext. 101.
Participants are encouraged to bring materials to share with the group, such as old drawings, fabrics, seed catalogs, magazines, book covers, doodles, or found papers. Scissors, adhesives, and paper will be provided.
"'Collage Logic' reflects my studio practice, where I excavate work from the past - like an archaeological dig - and re-imagine it into something entirely new," Lambert said in a news release.
Lambert is one of seven artists featured in "Making Space," an exhibit on view at BMAC through Nov. 2. The artists - Beverly Acha, Mika Obayashi, Howardena Pindell, Michelle Samour, Deborra Stewart-Pettengill, Lauren Watrous, and Lambert - explore the concept of physical and metaphorical spaces and our relationships to them. Lambert's site-specific installation features sculptures and canvases marked with color that spill onto the floor.
Lambert is an associate professor of drawing and painting at Keene State College. She holds a master's degree in painting from Hunter College and a bachelor's in visual art from Antioch College. Lambert has shown nationally and internationally, including solo and group exhibitions in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, South Korea, and Istanbul.
Previously, she taught at Parsons School of Design, Yeshiva University, and Fordham University.
