Squonk in the Neighborhood: Blawnox, Forest Hills and Garfield

Squonk’s teaching artists had a busy few weeks in Pittsburgh! We took our giant inflatable hands from Hand to Hand over to Blawnox on June 15 for their Summer Art Fling. Attendees had a chance to grab the rigging and power the fingers on these enormous purple puppets. A big thanks to Blawnox Borough and The Best Of Blawnox for arranging the event.

On June 18, teaching artist Lindsay and newest Squonker Isabella traveled to Forest Hills. As part of the C.C. Mellor Memorial Library Summer Block Party, they made tambourines from repurposed materials.

On June 22, Lindsay and teaching artist Tony joined Assemble for their Film Crew Camp. They led a new workshop called “Music and Sound EFX in Film: An introduction to Foley Work.” You can tell by all of the smiling faces that it was a big hit and lots of fun for all involved.
