Art Connections Workshops for Adults: Sweet Heat And Elemental Balance February 17, 2011

Adding heat to materials causes them to melt, boil and even explode. Thermal metaphors are also applied to people—from being “hot-blooded” to having a “meltdown.” After considering the scientific impacts of heat, explore what it means to you. Learn how to make a glass-like material by bringing sugar to a boil. Using this amber liquid, you’ll create a sweet-smelling work of ephemeral art.Connections Workshops are $25 for members and $35 for non-members (pre-registration required).
