The Workspace in the Memorial Union is a multimedia art studio open to all members of the community, students and non-students alike. In addition to open space hours for individuals to work on their own projects, the Workspace offers a great number and variety of classes during the summer. Classes in photography, fibercraft, jewelry-making and many more are available.

Beginning 7 p.m. June 14, Anastasia Whited will teach a class in black-and-white photography. It will teach all aspects of the art, from camera use and exposure to darkroom skills for the beginner. Cost is $73 for ISU students and $83 to the public. Be sure to bring your own 35mm SLR camera to the first class.

On June 28 and July 5 from 7 to 9 p.m., Sarah Dougherty will show students how to turn old t-shirts and scraps of fabric into new bracelets and handbags in her class Up-cycled Accessories. Students should bring in about five t-shirts to work with, and all other materials are provided. Cost is $18 for ISU students and $28 for the public.

For only a one-day commitment, you can learn to make chain mail jewelry on Saturday June 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. Gail Ferlazzo teaches students to make a necklace, bracelet and earrings with a simple chain maille weave in the class Chain Maille [sic]: Red Shaggy Loops. Students may bring magnifying glasses to help them see details more easily and aide them in weaving.
