with Jamie Weinfurter
Tuesday July 7 & Wednesday July 8, 5:30-8:30p
at the IC Press Co-op (225 N. Gilbert)
sliding scale: $35-160
Have you always loved the color of rust or wanted to repeat the patterns created by oxidizing the iron in metals? In this 2-day workshop, participants will learn how to transform rusty, ferrous metals into designs for printing and dyeing paper and fabric. No experience with printing or working with metals is necessary! On Day 1, participants will create configurations with ferrous metals and learn how to quickly rust them to print and/or dye paper and fabric. Day 2 will focus on turning the paper and fabric into collages, patches, and mixed media sculptures! All materials are included. Found metals, like screws, chicken wire, car parts, etc., are encouraged to bring for experimentation!
Open to ages 14+.
Registration deadline: June 29
*PS1 workshops are pay-what-you-can thanks to support from Hills Bank and individual donors. $125 is the true cost of the workshop for each participant. Please note there are a limited number of subsidized spots. We encourage participants to select the cost that they can afford, or pay a little extra to support future sliding-scale fees.

Jamie Weinfurter is a 3D artist and an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University. She is currently researching discarded household objects, rebuilding them to celebrate queer homemaking and the “little things” in life, while exposing the negative effects of consumer culture, unsustainable materialism, and discredited disability in American capitalistic systems of societal value. She earned an MFA in 2024 and an MA in 2023 in Sculpture & Intermedia from the University of Iowa, and a BFA in 2018 from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
