Madison’s Angela Richardson is the creator of these sock monsters/aliens/crazy animals, which kids make themselves. Richardson offers frequent workshops for kids; the next sock monster session, through Madison Public Library’s “Bubbler Junior” program, is scheduled for Aug. 18 at the Pinney Library, 204 Cottage Grove Rd. It’s free, but pre-registration is required (it starts Aug. 1, through the Madison Public Library website).
Richardson reports that she’ll be artist-in-residence at the Bubbler at the Central Library in January and February of 2016, so there is “sure to be another sock monster workshop or two during that residency.”
No time to make a sock monster yourself? More’s the pity; they’re currently not for sale anywhere in the area, though Richardson has had many requests. “Efforts are under way to find a willing local vendor who can help me out!” says Richardson.
