Distressed Mixed Media Workshop
Play, experiment, have fun! Explore spontaneous creation with emphasis on “no rules!”. Join professional artist Samantha da Silva as she shares her unorthodox method of painting: Rollers rather than brushes, tables instead of easels, lots of paint and water, canvas manipulation and plaster, salt, sand and wood shavings to create ethereal, textured abstracts. Heart-centered discussions will be offered to assist you to let go of fear, silence the inner critic, turn up your intuition & explore your own artistic style in a safe, supportive environment including: 6 Questions to Help You Paint Fearless, Compassionate Critiques, How to tell your painting is finished, and so much more! Everyone is considered a beginner. No previous artistic experience necessary, just an open mind and an open heart. Distressed Mixed Media Workshop incorporates collage, newspapers & paint scrapers to create simulated marks of age & wear.

Relief Printmaking
We will explore the beautiful versatility of creating a relief block. In this class we will learn the techniques of carving an image into linoleum blocks and transferring our designs with ink onto paper. In the future, these blocks can be transferred to a variety of tactile surfaces such as stamps, fabrics and wrapping paper!
