Maker Talk: Art Furniture with Jordan Schneier

Turning old furniture into pop art.

Learn about the process by which artist Jordan Schneier transforms old furniture into giant cigarette packs or sticks of butter.

Artist Jordan Schneier--known on Instagram as "thriftstorejor"--transforms old furniture into giant, pop art versions of everyday products. Her "butter bench", a bench sanded and papier-mâché'd to look like a stick of unsalted butter, went viral in early 2023. Lean into your maximalist tendencies during this lecture and learn from Schneier how you can start transforming your own furniture, from initial idea to the final coat of paint.

This talk will take place on the A-Level of the Martin Luther King Jr. Library. In-person seating is limited, so be sure to register to reserve a seat. ASL interpretation will be provided. This lecture will also be streamed live to DC Public Library's YouTube channel.
