Intuitive Painting Workshop: Process-based Art-making
In this workshop, we will explore process-based artmaking in a way that is grounded in the moment. Often, there is an expectation or ‘plan’ for how a painting will go, we will learn how to let the artwork reveal itself to us over time, how to listen, how to have a true and honest dialogue with what is right in front of us. By letting the art become what it wants to be, discoveries are made and exciting and unexpected things can happen, which gives a certain freedom and life to the work of art.
Paper Making Workshop
Use natural fibers to transform raw materials into beautiful sheets of paper. Plunge your hands into vats of swirling fibers and then pull, couch, and press, to form your own unique pieces. Plan on creating about 12 sheets of paper in a two hour class. Papermaking can be messy- be prepared and wear art-making clothes. Learn what an amazing art form paper can be.
