Dear Friends, If you’ve had the pleasure of receiving customer service at MAC from Kathleen Madden, chances are very good that it was a top-flight customer service experience. Since 2001, Kathleen has been an invaluable part of MAC, yes, as the rentals coordinator, but also as what some call a “silent leader.” She has inspired me to be a better person and for that I say, “Thanks Boss!” If you want to give her a big MAC thank you, be sure to do so before she retires in April. We are so happy for you Kathleen and we’ll expect to see you on Feast Fridays!!!

Portland Parks & Recreation Family Classes Family classes are designed for parents, guardians and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, encouraging each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean–up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

This delightful printmaking method lends itself to quirky and whimsical drawing styles. Also known as Trace Monotype, this method was originally developed by Paul Gaugin, through his experimentation with line and texture. Paper is laid on top of an inked plexiglass plate. The artist then draws on the back of the paper, using different mark-making tools and varying degrees of pressure. When the paper is peeled back, the ‘positive’ image is revealed. A ‘negative’ image remains on the plexiglass, which is then run through a press. The plate can be re-inked and printed a number of times, allowing for variation. Price includes a $20 materials and studio fee which is non-refundable after class begins.
