Create Your Own Creature with Melissa Menzer at Jeanine Taylor Folk Art

Join us April 1st for an open studio workshop with antique assemblage artist and sculptor, Melissa Menzer! This class is designed to allow students the creative freedom to pick their own subject matter while being provided group and one on one guidance. All supplies are included, and guests will have full access to Melissa’s abundant antique trinket collection to incorporate in their sculptures.

Each participant will be provided a handmade base, vintage doll clothing and polymer clay to sculpt the face of their creature. There will be a break in the middle of the day for lunch. Guests can bring their own lunch from home or dine out at one of the many restaurants in walking distance from the gallery. Students will finish the class with a completed project and the knowledge to continue creating at home!

Melissa’s antique assemblages rose to acclaim several years ago at the Mennello Museum of American Art in Orlando. She is the daughter of antique dealers from the Washington DC area and has worked in the business throughout her life, owning several booths in antique malls throughout central Florida.
