Make Some Noise For Mutant Toys


Talented guest artist Twyla Exner lead the workshops this past week at Art City. She does some pretty cool stuff.

Twyla is from Prince Albert Saskatchewan, and has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture, and a Masters of Fine Arts in studio arts.

Twyla uses a variety of mediums, materials and objects and prefer hands-on, labour-intensive processes, a few of which she shared with us.

She showed us a thing or two about hand-sewn creatures, mutant toys, bottle cap art, wire sculptures, and what she calls Disney revisited. 

Check out her website to explore her ongoing work and creations. Below are pictures of some of the art participants made in her workshops.
