Looking for an eco-friendly art project this summer?
Wendy Birchmire, local upcycling artist will teach a workshop on how to create eco-friendly art. She will give guidance on how to create upcycled mosaics created with computer parts (some from our Tech Take Apart Day on Wednesday, July 10 at 3:30 pm!). Grab your friends and spend a beautiful afternoon outside creating beautiful mosaics keeping with our summer reading theme of Read, Renew, Repeat.
Registration is required, must be 18 years or older and sign the Town of Dedham waiver before participating. Please contact Ari at apappas@minlib.net with questions.
About Wendy:
Creating art has always been part of Wendy’s life. Her mother was an artist so, from an early age, she enrolled her daughter in art classes. As a youngster, Wendy took courses in pottery, painting, drawing, enameling, and welding found objects. Wendy went to Boston University, where she studied Sociology and had a minor in Art History. Following her graduation with a Bachelor’s degree, Wendy returned to BU to secure a Master’s degree in Secondary School Counseling. After working as a Guidance Counselor in the Hanover, MA school system for over 30 years, she retired. When Wendy is not upcycling computer parts, she creates mostly mosaic clocks and mirrors using tile, millefiori, jewels, or whatever she thinks will enhance a piece. She also teaches mosaic art at The Glass Bar in Needham, MA.
