Unlock the Magic!
Welcome to the workshop! If you’ve ever felt unsure where to begin with kinetic art, you are in the right place. Below you’ll find more info about what to expect and a current list of upcoming classes where we’ll explore the whimsy and wonder of mechanics!
What to Expect
Let's learn together.
In my classes and workshops, you’ll find a welcoming environment designed to unlock the magic of kinetic art, regardless of your previous experience.
Whether we’re assembling and decorating one of my pre-made automata kits or experimenting with everyday materials, you’ll learn the foundational mechanics behind captivating motion.
My ultimate goal is to build a community of automata & kinetic artists here locally in Eugene so we can all grow, support, learn and play together.
