Ages 16+

As the season changes from summer to fall, we are reminded of the transient nature of all things. In this collage workshop, we will be learning the technique of image transfers to create ghostly layered effects and embellishing our collages with sewing and other additive processes. Bring an image (photograph or computer printed) with you to use as a focal point (a memorial to a loved one, a place you long for, it can be a pet) and take home a one-of-a-kind creation for you or a loved one to display in your home.

This workshop led by mixed media artist Anastasiya Gutnik www.sokolikart.com

A minimum number of registrants is required, if it is not met we will refund your payment and appreciate your cooperation.

Join us, for our special Family Craft event series! We will be featuring a select craft activity and fun for the entire family!

This Fall, bring the kiddos for creativity and fun with printmaking! This studio series will introduce students to introductory printmaking techniques while exploring their individual artistic expression. Hmmm, what is a print? How do we make one? What can we make a print of?! We'll explore this and more! Together, we'll work with the multiple to discover its versatility as a medium. Learn the art of the monoprint—where no two prints are alike—as well as how you might create an original design that can be printed over and over and shared! Come home with your own original art print ready to frame and your own printed tee!

Classes are led by local artist/designer Michelle Vorce. Activities include drawing, printmaking, performance, puppet making, sculpture and more!
