‘Dancing Blossoms’ is a kinetic installation composed of delicate paper mobiles. Inspired by the soft, fleeting rhythms of nature, this work invites viewers to pause, breathe, witness the beauty of impermanence, and in the stillness of winter, embrace the renewal.

Paula Hartmann is a multidisciplinary artist whose work draws inspiration from traditional craft practices, folk art, and the natural world. She creates kinetic installations using sustainable materials like paper, straw, thread and wire, inviting quiet contemplation and a sense of connection.

Balancing Acts: A Kinetic Mobile Workshop

Ages: Adults

Create your own kinetic mobile using wire and delicate paper elements. In this workshop led by artist Paula Hartmann, you’ll learn the fundamentals of bending and shaping wire, attaching paper pieces, and achieving elegant balance.

No experience necessary—just bring your curiosity, an open heart, and any lightweight treasures you’d love to include in your mobile. All tools and materials will be provided.

Cost: $25

January 24 / 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
