Learn How to Antique & Distress Your Creations Like Amanda Louise Spayd!

In addition to Chris Ryniak's workshop that we reported on earlier this week, plush designer Amanda Louise Spayd will also be teaching a class at Stranger Factory next month in conjunction with Migration, her two person with Ryniak. Entitled The Patina of Time, the two-hour workshop will demonsstrate how to age any object, be it paper, wood or fabric! You'll also be able to create a "vintage" rag doll of your very own to take home and love forever. The class will be especially handy for artists, seamstresses, plush and doll makers, toy customizers, or anyone who has a thing for that rustic, weathered aesthetic. The Patina of Time will take place in Stranger Factory's main room on Sat., March 2, from 3pm to 5pm. Tickets are $65 and are going fast; email the gallery at strangerfactorysales@gmail.com ASAP to reserve your spot!

Migration is a two-person exhibition featuring new works by Chris Ryniak and Amanda Louise Spayd. The show opens March 1 and runs through March 31, 2013 at Stranger Factory, 109 Carlisle Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106.
