Nature & Art
March 14, 2025 13:00
Explore the intersection of art and nature! Take this opportunity to experiment with different techniques and materials -- such as mono-printing and incorporating natural elements directly into your works of art. In this class, you'll endeavor to slow down, connect with the environment, and use nature's lively palette to refine your personal style.
Alchemy of an Artist
March 24, 2025 10:00
Join us for an introductory dive into the world of the "Artist Archetype" -- the timeless pattern of creative behavior that has shaped human expression throughout history. Uncover the strengths and blind spots of the artist within you, and examine how this shapes your creative journey. Together, we'll each use mixed media collage techniques to create a visual representation of our Archetype or unique "Artist" identity.
