Heather Bonde is the co- founder and curator for Gallery 3. "It's the little things in life that create a true joy for me; It could be hearing a wind chime in pistachio shells, or seeing the silver shine of a can tab. Using cast offs to create art is more than gluing things together to make a pretty composition, it is acknowledging the possibilities and potential in the of smallest things".
Her workshop"Beautiful Junk" will explore the possibilities of re purposed cast off materials to create an assemblage sculpture that transforms ordinary materials into works of art.
