Upcoming Curious about Curios, Making Gaffs: Feathers and Fur
1-Day Class with Angela Boyle
Saturday, March 8, 2025
10:30 am – 12:30 pm
Cabinets of curiosity have a long-standing tradition, ranging from a single bottle to an entire room. And as long as humans have been curious, we have been making gaffs, fake curiosities (often passed off as real). In each of these three classes, we will fill as many jars as we can (one and maybe two at least) with different fake curios. We will also discuss display of our curios and talk the history of curios as desired by the class. You can sign up for each date individually; they are all stand-alone classes, but you will learn different techniques in each class. In this class, you will build a feather and fur themed gaff.
