AFTA Teaching Artist Marcie Wolf Hubbard led older adults at the Kensington Club in a series of hands-on art workshops and we are excited to share the artwork they created.
Much to the delight of the participants, Marcie arrived at each session with bags of found objects – vintage postcards, scraps of paper, pieces of costume jewelry, and a few items best termed as “unidentifiable”. Marcie frequently uses found materials in her own artwork, and admits she is known for collecting items others would consider throw-away.
Participants used bits of paper and other odds and ends to make abstract geometric collages. The members of the Kensington Club have rich life experiences that show in their artwork.


They combed through piles of vintage postcards and used their imaginations to expand the images beyond the edges of the card.

Our participants at the Kensington Club can’t wait to have Marcie back — and we’re eager to see what they make next time!
