Saturday & Sunday | Brooks Alley
Catch artists in the act of creating on Art Adventure Avenue, a gigantic art studio for you to explore. Discover your inner artists with printmakers, blacksmiths, clay sculptor, chalk artists and pumpkin painters! Watch the sparks fly at the People’s Forge, stand back as the massive steamroller prints amazing works for art, transform clay from a lump to a bowl, discover your inner artist with chalk and your inner ghoul by painting a pumpkin. Fun for all ages!
Steam Roller
Stand back! Prepare to see several thousand pounds of raw machine muscle create stunning art work right on the street, right in front of you. Some of Central Oregon finest artists will be expanding the dimensions of their typical printmaking boundaries onto relatively massive expanses of paper. This is big art!
The People’s Forge
Fire! Hammer on metal! Sparks! The People’s Forge is a dynamic interactive demonstration of the art of blacksmithing. A blacksmith is a craftsperson who fabricates objects out of iron by hot and cold forging on an anvil. The invention of forging iron dates is ancient and dates back to 1500 BCE. The power of creating wrought iron weapons and tools over 3000 years ago ushered in the Iron Age, sparking a world-wide transformative event. Since 1970 the practice of blacksmithing has resurged into a powerful global network of artists who advance the traditions and techniques that have existed for thousands of years. Central Oregon is the home to a number of these very blacksmiths, and they will be demonstrating the art of forging white-hot iron into beautiful decorative and functional objects.
Clay Magic
It is indeed magic to see the transformation of clay. Watch Central Oregon ceramic artists in action as they transform a lump of clay into a realistic or whimsical sculpture, or a beautiful piece of pottery as they demonstrate their skill at the potter’s wheel.
