Recycle, Renew, Reuse

$95

with Deena Ball

Calendar Next available session starts Jan 11, 2025 at 10 am, runs for 1 week

Mixed Media Collage Workshop. We all possess those watercolor paintings that don't quite meet our expectations, yet we haven't discarded them. Instead of discarding, cut up your paintings, introduce other types of paper, paint over them, rearrange, and reinvent in a collaborative group setting. We will share supplies, exchange ideas, and learn new techniques for creating textures, resists, and crafting your own collage. Make a series of small collages to use as notecards or make a large collage - totally up to you. This will be a day of fun filled creativity. A materials fee of $15 will be collected by the instructor at the beginning of the workshop. Please note: This is a one day 7-hour workshop with a brief break for lunch. Bring your own lunch/snacks.

Art & Artists: From All Over The Globe

with Jennifer Linskey

Calendar Next available session starts Jan 14, 2025 at 1 pm, runs for 10 weeks

Iceland, China, Japan, Canada…we’re moving through time and across what may be unfamiliar terrain as we discover some new artists. It will follow the same format as previous art and artist classes in terms of part art history, part art studio. There may be times where we look at not one artist that week, but a particular idea or way of making art indigenous, or very central to, that area of the world. *No Class: 2/18.

Intermediate Drawing

$175

with Jennifer Linskey

Calendar Next available session starts Jan 16, 2025 at 10 am, runs for 6 weeks

This class is geared toward those who have had a bit of drawing experience, and would like to hone skills but aren’t starting from square one. If you have taken a beginning drawing class before with me, and want to further expand your skill set this class is for you! We’ll re- visit measuring and value, then dive into more complex drawing concepts. Gesture, narrative, and interior are among topics we’ll explore. We will, at times, abstract from nature and broaden ideas about what a drawing can be. Class work will be a combination of working from observation and springboarding into abstraction. *No Classes: 2/20.
