Workshop description:

This process oriented workshop will focus on a variety of techniques and materials which can layer with one another allowing for an intuitive, spontaneous way of creating. Participants will come away with a working knowledge of a wide range of materials and their use. We will also be looking at color, composition and texture as I guide you through a series of demos and one-on-one time with you and your work. Come enjoy engaging this exciting exploration with curiosity, the joy of experimentation and see how creating in the NOW can enhance your current practice and become the inspiration for new ideas.

Each participant will receive valuable feedback on their pieces including how to incorporate some of the Mixed Media processes into their ongoing body of work. We'll discuss various and inventive ways to hang the work as well. 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 moving forward into creating a series. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and will benefit from these mind expanding talks!

I have recently been experiencing all parts of my life open up, including my relationship with art.  this workshop would help me loosen up even more and I wasn't disappointed! Bonny was wonderful in all aspects of the workshop. First, our time was exquisitely planned. She had all of the supplies we needed to learn all sorts of new techniques and create some beautiful art. She had every minute planned and motivated us to move and take action where we might have been reticent in the past. The work each day built on subsequent work and the whole 3 days came together very nicely. Although it wasn't the goal, I walked away with some beautiful pieces. The 12 of us who participated in the workshop bonded and had a wonderful 3 days!

It was a wonderful workshop!

This is a really BIG MiXED MEDiA workshop! Lots of new products to experiment with along with introduction to new processes. Bonny organized the workshop so well, great demos with examples, and lots of time to play. The time flew and I came away with lots of new ideas to expand my work. Didn't know work could be so much fun!
