Be inspired by Spring as we create mini colorful floral collages. Throughout the workshop we will be drawing, painting, and exploring the ease and beauty of paper collage. If you have never painted before, this is a great way to start. Experienced painters will find this a refreshing way to re-energize their art practice. $30 (+optional $20 art kit)
What’s the difference between selfies and self-portraits? Turning the camera on yourself can be a very powerful, even frightening, thing. Discuss the many factors that go into a self-portraiture practice, from the emotions to the logistics, to the technical aspects of working with your camera remotely. Look at self portraits by other photographers and discuss how to create images of yourself that are meaningful and honest, as well as technically sound. $30
Engage in a bit of wordplay. A few trips or deliveries from the supermarket will provide you with a diverse collection of fonts in different styles, sizes and colors from product packaging and bags.This is perfect fodder for graffiti and letter inspired art. We’ll create puns, superlatives, and proverbs we’d like to immortalize forever. It is plastic after all, so it’ll last! Add a bit of hand stitching and end up with a fun and striking new piece of art. $30
In this workshop, Emily will show you how to transfer an image to linoleum and create a relief carving to print from. She will cover different techniques to create areas of varying light and dark, depth and dimension, and how to distinguish which tools are best to achieve various textures. She will then demonstrate how to print your lino-cut from home using a wooden spoon and water based ink.
