The Practical Prep workshops are a series where students will learn hands-on art installation skills. Our mission is to teach students practical skills they will need as practicing artists, curators and preparators outside of CCA, so that all students feel empowered to problem-solve specific installation concerns around their work and create work and exhibition spaces outside of traditional institutions.

Learning Objectives: by the end of this workshop participants should 

• be comfortable with basic install and deinstall tools

• be able to comfortably attach basic hardware for hanging wall works

• screw in screws

• hammer in nails

• masking tape (for light, non-precious wall works)

• double sided mounting tape for heavier works or works that need to stay up for longer - using masking tape to protect the work and the wall

• pins

• able to repair minor holes made by basic hanging hardware (screw, nail, pin and tape)

• prepare hole

• patch hole

• sand patch
