Tiny Talk with Ali Karsh
Saturday, July 18th, 8pm

​$5-$20 suggested donation​

Small Mall artist Ali Karsh will be joining us for a Tiny Talk and Collage Workshop! Ali will be chatting briefly about her practice and how collaging continues to find its way back into her work. This event duals as a collage workshop that Ali will be leading where guests can collage with her.

Collage supplies are open-ended, but guests and encouraged to use some glue (glue stick, tape, Elmer's), paper (scraps, newspaper, magazines, love notes, photos), and cutting utensils (scissors, X-ACTO, paper punches) are a good place to start. It's also helpful to have a drawing utensil or two on hand just in case, and Ali believes the more color, the better!

Living Room Sessions will be pay-what-you-can between $5-20 to sign up. Proceeds will go to Small Mall staff and the artists to help them through this crisis.

She uses drawing as a tool for thinking, observing, and experimenting with color and shape. She plays with clay to explore her obsession with the way objects and forms make people feel.
