Patterns & Texture & Shapes, Oh my!
This is a mixed media workshop exploring with paint, ink and collage using simple shapes, textures
and patterns. You will create several pieces and turn them into framed or functional art. This is your
adventure on paper!
Beginners welcome – You will learn some basics along with some creative guidelines, then play and
freely create. Templates and ideas are provided or you can explore your own ideas. I guarantee that
you will have lots of fun and surprise yourself with your creativity and enjoyment.
All materials and tools are supplied, however you are welcome to bring your favorite paper cutting
scissors and/or brushes. Be sure to bring an apron to wear as we will be playing with paint.
This is more than a class; it is a chance to connect with the local creative community and surprise
yourself with what you can create when given the right tools and guidance.
