Mixed-Media Sculpture with Cayce Lee
In this middle school workshop, students will work collaboratively to create mixed-media sculptures. Cayce Lee, a Raleigh-based artist and educator, will lead the workshop. The current exhibitions on view, Born Digital, and Chris Bradley–Close One (which opens on February 24) will serve as a jumping off point, inspiring the students as they use a variety of materials (found, repurposed, and some new) to complete their sculptures.
Cayce Lee is a graduate student in Fibers and Surface Design at NC State University College of Design, where she also teaches introductory coursework. Before moving to Raleigh, she taught art in the Winston-Salem public school system and at numerous non-profit art organizations. She is also a practicing artist and member of the Raleigh-based fiber group, the Common Seam Collective.

Meet in the Independent Weekly Gallery to hear exhibiting artist Chris Bradley talk about his work.
A recent School of the Art Institute of Chicago M.F.A graduate, Chris Bradley balances humor with thoughtful composition in his playful installations and pairs unlikely elements with more common sculptural materials such as wood and steel. By arranging prosaic objects in uncommon ways, Bradley assigns them new importance and suggests new ways of relating to them. The use of disparate materials, such as discarded auto parts and cast bronze forms, Bradley creates a conversation amongst the work that diminishes conventional means of appraisal and embraces the material’s immediate effect.
Join CAM Raleigh to attend this artist talk free of admission charge. Public welcome. Free with museum admission.
Join CAM Raleigh on Sundays at 2:00 p.m. for a guided tour of current exhibitions. Guided tours are included in museum admission. Free for members, children 10 and under, NC State students, faculty, and staff.
