Tuesdays, June 9, 16, 23 and 30 - From 6 P.M. to 8:30 P.M.

This workshop series invites participants to engage with a variety of materials through guided, hands-on exercises. Each session is designed to encourage intuitive making, helping participants relax into the creative process without pressure or expectation. Through mindful exploration of texture, form, and composition, participants develop a deeper connection to their artistic voice. The focus is on process over outcome, creating a supportive space for experimentation, presence, and personal expression.

Drawing: Practice fast figure sketching and contour drawing from live model and still life. Using pencil, pen, and brush, participants build confidence in observation, gesture, and expressive line.

Painting
Explore color theory and focus on loosening control, developing sensitivity to color relationships, composition and allowing spontaneous expression to guide the process.

Collage
Transform your painting, photographs, and text into layered, abstract narratives. Participants experiment with composition, fragmentation, and storytelling through juxtaposition.

Mixed Media
Combine drawing, painting, and collage to create dynamic, multimedia works. Incorporate found objects, fabric, paper, and metallic elements to expand texture and depth.
