About the Event

Join us for an all-ages hands-on workshop exploring the magic of light and shadow. We’ll begin by discovering how artists throughout history have used shadows to tell stories. Then, participants will learn to cut, cast, and curate their own shadow narratives, transforming everyday objects into immersive silhouette art. Together, we’ll arrange these pieces into a large-scale, interactive exhibition. No experience is needed. All materials are provided.

Led by Armory Gallery Staff and Trevor Finney, Manager of the Virtual Environments and Gaming Studios at Virginia Tech’s University Libraries.
