Everyday Alchemy: A Workshop on Transforming the Ordinary ~~Facilitated by LiLi 丽丽 Nacht

This is a free community offering. As part of the exhibition Familiar Objects by Sharon Havelka, this workshop explores how the mundane items that surround us carry hidden narratives and unexpected potential for reimagination. We will begin with a guided meditation and gallery walk, practicing close observation of both our internal states and the artworks themselves. The exhibition's works serve as departure points as we move into writing prompts and drawing exercises. Participants will then use objects from their own lives, exploring them as sources of texture, shape, and form, and giving them new identities through an embodied practice of observation, discussion, and creative expression. What stories do ordinary objects hold? How can we transform the familiar into something new? And what happens when we see the everyday with fresh eyes? Ages 16 and older welcome. No prior art experience necessary.

Saturday, March 28 ~ 12:30-3:00pm

The Urban Sketchers

The Object of Their Eye

The Urban Sketchers arrived at ShapeShifter and, with them, brought the first true pulse of group energy into the building—something we have been waiting two long years to feel. Nearly thirty sketchers moved quietly through the space, filling every room with careful attention and shared stillness. There are very few words that can fully hold the joy of this day. So instead, let us pause—and look at what they saw.
