JANUARY 19 BOLDER Talks
Friday night 6:30-7 Sculptural Concrete Workshop Jan 20, 2018 Saturday 10-5 Jan 21, 2018 Sunday 10-5 |
There is a long history of non-conforming construction known as ferro-cement. Basically it refers to any type of reinforcing steel, iron or other metal combined with traditional and modified concrete(cement)
Ricky Boscarino has created numerous sculptures both public and at his home Luna Parc using this method. It is also used in construction of shelters and homes to create sculpted living spaces.
Ricky has been inspired by the undulating roof lines of Gaudi of Barcelona as well as the eccentric imposing facades of Hundertwasser ( of Vienna and New Zealand).
In this two day workshop we will construct a sculptural electrified lamppost which will be a permanent fixture at SHAMC in Safety Harbor FL.
We'll work with Ricky and the founders of SHAMC on the piece using the ferro-cement method. You can be a part of the process from beginning to completion.
The process can be difficult at times, cement, wire mesh and wire are somewhat stubborn materials so be prepared to work, have fun and be a part of this amazing experience. The result will be spectacular!
We ask for $10 per person per day for the experience.

DAPHNE WILLIS - MUSICIAN
Nashville style Songwriters Workshop
April 2017 artist in residence and performance and school visit
Come Write A Song With Me!
This 90 minute workshop will incorporate the professional Nashville writing style into a group song writing session. I will walk you through the basics of what happens in a typical Nashville songwriting session and we will follow the steps to craft our very own song. We will cover phrasing, melodic balance and build, and structure I will use titles, lyrics, melodies and chord progressions (if applicable) from workshop participants as we go. At the end of the session, I will make a very simple acoustic voice memo of our song and email it to everyone as an mp3! Whether you are a professional songwriter, just starting to get into it, or you only sing in the shower, you can get a lot out of this workshop. Songwriting is all about connecting with a concept or idea and fully expressing it in a song. It’s fun, therapeutic, and a great way to connect with others in your community!
