Mobiles and Stabiles

with Chris Toy

Apr
2

Next session: April 2nd, 2025

There's something very "zen" about natural elements suspended and balancing with precision!  Last year the WRAE team enjoyed a "Chris Toy Experience" when we all created either mobiles or stabiles from driftwood and rocks and wire.  We all get comments and questions about these creations around our space!  Chris has "upped" his game for this year and is adding shells and feathers to the mix.  So the rules of balancing will be a little more fun!  All materials are provided!
