Workshop description:

This dynamic, process oriented workshop will focus on a variety of techniques and materials which can layer with one another and allow for a broader, more confident way of approaching mixed media. Participants will come away with a working knowledge of materials, products and their use and a sense of how exploration, experimentation and creating in the NOW can enhance your current practice and become the inspiration for new ideas.

Plus an optional Special Consultation Day Monday the 11th:

On Monday, the 11th, You will have the opportunity to get valuable feedback including how to incorporate some of the Mixed Media processes into your ongoing body of work. We'll discuss various and inventive ways to hang the work. I'll be showing a PowerPoint for this including artists who do unusual installations. We'll also delve into what's most important to you in your work and creative process and how to build on those concepts including ways to move forward in creating a series. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and will benefit from these mind expanding talks! This will be done in a group setting and then there will be a dedicated private consultation time for each participant.

The cost for this day is $125 - an incredible value! We'll start at 10am and see how long the day goes up to 4pm. Please let me know if you are able to participate when signing up for the workshop.
