Art & Wellness Mixed Media Workshop Registration

Making art is a whole-body experience, including how you are feeling during the making process! In this workshop we will focus on using our whole body to create artworks while considering our emotional responses as we draw, paint and collage evolving artworks. Join us in seeking wellness through art as we practice a variety of strategies that encourage body and mind awareness and slowness.

Monotype Printmaking Workshop

Sunday / November 12 / 12:30- 4:00 pm

Artist Instructor: Olivia Tripp Morrow

$95, includes supplies. Registration required.

Monotype Printmaking Workshop Registration

In this workshop, students will learn the basics of monotype printmaking using a gelatin plate. Students will learn how to create basic stencils and compose simple or intricate compositions by building up multiple layers of paint on paper. Artwork will be created in a standard size so that it can be easily framed at home. This will be a fun and experimental workshop in which students will find they can generate endless possibilities and surprising—often beautiful—results.
