For this workshop we will be using the work of Gustav Klimt for inspiration. He was a master of both organic and geometric design creating unique images. We will be drawing Klimt-like designs and images using Sargent metallic oil pastels. Reflective Journaling – Lisa Girlie (repeat Wednesday)
Get inspired in this hands-on art journaling workshop. Free yourself from restrictions and expectations. EXPLORE and ENJOY the creative process and have FUN. Bring the sense of joy and wonder of a child back into your life. It’s a form of creative self-care. An Art Journal is similar to a written journal, except it incorporates colors, images, patterns and mixed materials. It may have a lot of writing, or purely filled with images. We will create a work-in-progress Art Journal and take home ideas and the motivation to continue journaling.Garden Stones – Nancy Vogel (Part 2, Wednesday)
Learn a process of creating garden stones that transcends age and experience levels. Create a garden stone with glass mounted to a 6” square cement stone. Use glass cutters and crimpers to personalize your design from a variety of glass colors and textures provided. Design and glue the glass to your stone on the first day and concrete your stone on the second day. All materials provided and you can take your completed stone home with you. (Images are a result of a workshop for “non-artistic” adults.)Artful Gourds – Sue Ayers

Using paper, Xacto knife and foam core scrapes create a beautiful landscape. All you need is a creative mind and patience (safe cutting skills is also very helpful) for this to be a rewarding experience.

If you have a cutting board, please bring it with you. If not, you will be cutting into old magazines.Figures in Art – Allison Parrish, guest artist (repeat Wednesday)
Taking a non-traditional approach, this class will allow you to explore life drawing. Using a variety of materials, participants will experiment with scale and color working from a live model.
