Dive in to the City of Belmont 2026 Art Awards Workshop Series!
Join JC, visual artist, set builder, props maker and general arts-related construction wizard for this hands-on carpentry demonstration. JC will demonstrate how to build a stretcher frame and stretch two different sizes of canvas.
Participants will have the opportunity to volunteer for a variety of hands-on tasks throughout the session. Power tool safety protocols will be taught and implemented. This workshop aims to encourage artists to learn practical skills which provide autonomy and are cost-saving.
This is a carpentry demonstration designed specifically for beginners, with no previous experience with tools or in workshops. It provides an inclusive and supportive environment for learning. Women and women-identifying folx are welcomed.
What to wear: long pants and sturdy closed shoes. We provide safety glasses and ear protection.
