At this workshop you will make your very own mini-oasis using plants, pebbles, found objects, and whatever inspires you. All materials provided, but feel free to bring your own vessel if you have one you would like to use. The workshop will be led by local landscape designer Adam Clack of The Land Mechanic. One of FactoryMade's most popular DIY workshops (and soon to be featured in Sunset Magazine), Craftworks is open to AIGA members for a reduced rate. Cost includes all materials: glass vessel, plants, soil, and gravel material. |

An Exciting Visit From an Icon
Our year-long “Pursuit of Happiness” speaker series returned from its
summer hiatus last Wednesday night at the Denver Art Museum as design
legend Charles S. Anderson entertained the crowd with a humorous and
colorful take on his career and our industry.
The auditorium – crowded with students and teachers, professional and emerging designers, members and non-members – saw firsthand how Anderson’s extensive collection of licensed artwork has been put to use over several decades. The bright colors and humor of his Pop Ink collection, identity systems, and other works, ranging from posters to packaging, had everyone marveling at the big screen and laughing. And all the while there was a nice dichotomy to the evening as he had us contemplate the state of design today and how we can take action. AIGA Colorado would like to thank to our sponsors, French Paper – long-time CSA client – and Sprint Printing. Join us next month for an evening with Alissa Walker, freelance writer and the creative mind behind gelatobaby.com! And thank you to everyone who attended, we had a packed house! If you were at the event, tag your photos with us on Facebook or Twitter (#aigaco) and we'll choose some to be featured on our site. Don't forget to tag all your posts for future events to be included in our recaps and follow-up conversations. |
