Calendar of Events

In this live on-line workshop we will explore ways to create original designed papers to use in your collage art work.  We will create monoprints and ghost prints, using the Gelli plates with acrylic paints, stencils, and masks, and create marbleized papers. After demos, the participants will create their own original designed papers.  We will use the color wheel to explore complementary and monochromatic color choices.

Once you have your own library of collage papers you will be prepared to move forward with collage art projects and Anne’s upcoming collage classes: Spontaneous Color & Collage on January 21; Have a Heart on February 9; and Just Collage, No Paint on March 3.

Are you new to watercolor? Or have you been dabbling in watercolors, but you have a lot of questions? This is the perfect class for you!

In this class, you will learn all the basics, like how to choose and stretch your paper, finding the right brush to use, and how to mix your paints to get the perfect color. You’ll also learn about masking fluid, resist techniques, wet-in-wet washes, glazing and how to paint details.

Each day, you will build on what you have learned, so that, by the end of class, you will enjoy creating your own watercolor paintings with knowledge, understanding and confidence.

Most people recognize Georgia O’Keeffe’s distinctive flower paintings. Many people have seen her famous skull paintings. However, she painted over 2,000 pieces in her lifetime, and many of those paintings were landscapes, both realistic and abstract.

This class will provide students with time to view and interpret two O’Keeffe paintings. We will discuss the idea of landscapes, and a connection with physical spaces that inspire us. We will explore the contrast between landscapes that are formless and atmospheric, as well as recognizable, literal landscapes. Students will learn landscape drawing and painting techniques as we work with pencil and watercolor. Everyone in the class will be supported in painting a landscape that expresses their creative imagination!

In this live stream workshop, you will learn mindfulness practices that can benefit your art making and ground you in the present moment. Meg Kaczyk will lead you in simple meditations, followed by art making. Relaxation, presence, acceptance and expansion are liberating and fun outcomes from learning mindfulness basics.

The workshop will begin with introductions, then a short, guided meditation. We will talk about our art making materials, and then Meg will instruct on walking meditation. Students will head out individually for a short walking meditation, coming back to the group for sharing and art making. The session will end with a brief guided metta meditation.
