Saturday, October 2nd from 9:30 - 11:30 am
in the backyard of Gilda's Club (Middleton, WI)
Bring your breaking power with you and prepare to bust some old ceramics to create unique mosaic art pieces. Gilda's Club Art Therapy Intern will lead participants through the breaking and assembling process. We will have all the basic supplies you'll
need on hand to make one of several mosaic options. Pre-broken pieces will be available for those who aren't comfortable breaking, including safety-conscious round pieces available for younger children. This activity is appropriate for kids 5 and
up. Volunteers will be on hand to supervise kids under 5 who would rather play in the backyard. We will spread tables around the backyard so there will be plenty of space for everyone! Masks are required to keep everyone safe.
Questions? Need more information? Please contact Carissa Hodgson at carissa@gildasclubmadison.org or 608-828-8875.
About Rene Livingston-DeTienne:
Rene Livingston-DeTienne is a senior in Edgewood’s Art Therapy undergraduate program. She
is also a State of WI Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) and CPS Trainer. Raised in the WI/IL Stateline area, in the town of Beloit, she moved to Madison in the early 90s to start a life in the “big city” and has been here ever since – long enough to
now consider herself a Madisonian.
A lifelong artist and writer, she has been creating artwork for as long as she can remember. Her favorite medium is water-soluble oil pastels, and much of her oil pastel artwork is abstract, evoking emotion with color and shape and suggestive figures.
However, she’s recently discovered a love for realistic water-soluble oil painting as well. In general, she loves exploring different mediums, from pen and ink to watercolors, from mixed media, collage, and sculpture to papermaking. She has also been
writing poetry from an early age, and her first chapbook, The
Good Truth, was released from Finishing Line Press this year. Her next full length collection, Not Just the Fire, will be due out in late 2022 from Cornerstone Press.
While not busy with school, she enjoys reading, gardening, baking, and other muggle-ish activities. She lives in Madison with her young adult daughter and spouse and their four unruly little dogs.
