Deep in the industrial fringes of North Portland, a mysterious Krewe of monsters musters... where scrap cardboard, used shopping bags, expired political signs, and old packing material are reassembled into wondrous new forms...
We share our monsters at various community events around Portland for the delight of all those who behold them, while inspiring people to give their garbage a second chance through artistic reuse and crafty up-cycling.
Also, we may be looking for folks to carry/perform extra trash monster creations at future events! If that excites you, please let us know--we love volunteer helpers. Some monsters are backpack-mounted puppets, but most are simple heads on sticks. No puppetry or performance experience needed, just email monsters@goblinart.com for more details.
Do YOU have an inner trash monster waiting to be released upon the world?Then get ready to warm up your glue gun and rev your sewing machine motor in preparation to join us!
Drop an email to monsters@goblinart.com if you are interested in monster making days at our lair (located at the Wildland Roots workshop at Green Anchors, 8940 N Bradford St). These will not be formal workshops--instead envision a collaborative gathering of monster-minded, eco-crafty, recycling-passionate folks who want to give some poor abandoned garbage a new life (one that just happens to include lots of extra eyeballs and tentacles).
