Workshops We are Offering This Fall

Alcohol Inks

In this Workshop, we’ll show you how to explore fluid mediums to create a fun and exciting piece of art using Alcohol Inks. We will use several Ink colors and some Metallic ones to create a beautiful, flowing art piece that even new artists can do. You can also add some linework, like Zentangle doodles, to finish our projects for a fun abstract look. Overall, if you want to chill and relax, this workshop is for you.

Making Mobiles

Kinetic movement is a fascinating aspect of 3D art!

In this workshop, students will first learn a bit of the history of mobiles and then design and construct one of their own using metal wire and mixed media elements.

Sculpting with Wire

We’ve probably all done line drawings as children, but have you ever “drawn” with wire? Doing so is an easy way to transform your 2D drawing into a 3D sculpture. In this workshop, students will apply this process to create a small wire sculpture on a wooden base.

Making Felted Jewelry

Jewelry isn’t always made of metal or beads! Felting is a fiber art technique that utilizes raw wool to create soft sculptural or pictorial elements. In this workshop, students will create felted components that they will incorporate in a jewelry piece.

Bookbinding- 4 Japanese Side Sewn Books

Book forms come in a variety of styles. Side sewn books have 4 styles. We will investigate each of these styles where the decorative quality of the binding takes center stage. Students will create small versions of each of the 4 styles. Simple binding, noble binding, the tortoiseshell, and lastly the hemp leaf binding.
