Take a seat at this open workshop and make collaged drawings in the spirit of
Martín Ramírez. While at DeWitt State Hospital, Ramírez’s limited access to art supplies led him to alternative methods and materials, including matchsticks for drawing and mashed potatoes for glue. In this workshop, attendees are invited to use similar materials to create unique works that evoke Ramírez’s extraordinary creations. Let’s get resourceful.
