SCRAP Workshops at S50AS

Workshops will be held at Shotwell 50 Studio (S5S), 50 Shotwell Street (at 14th St.). Get Barbie out of her box by altering a recycled Barbie, build her an environment, or embellish found items with materials from SCRAP.

Sacred in her box, as she emerges she is transformed by adding or removing limbs and embellishment, with the potential of becoming a fantastic, horrible creature or beautiful icon. Create a new environment for her and/or her cohorts or decorate a Barbie object.

Charlotte Davis is an artist who has worked in many media, producing art jewelry, assemblage, and sculpture. She was a co-founder of The Soft Touch, a Haight Ashbury Cooperative gallery that operated for more than 20 years. She discovered hot glue guns 10 years ago and has not looked back.

Ruby Pearl calls her art Sacred Profanities and creates Altar Boxes, Barbies and fine silver jewelry all focused on the divine feminine, which she shows in galleries in the Bay Area. She teaches occasional workshops and owned Sacred Profanities Gallery in Berkeley.
