$120, all materials included

Immerse yourself in a variety of art-making media, and see where it takes you!

In this extended workshop, we’ll begin by exploring a range of art materials through drawing exercises, paint explorations, lettering, doodling and collage. That’s Part 1, from 11 am until approximately 1 pm.

Between 1:00 and 2:00 pm, you’re free to forage for lunch at one of the many eateries on Alberta Street (half a block away), or brown bag it on our back deck.

Part 2 is from 2 - 5 pm: You’ll use the inspiration and tools from the morning session to work on a personal project, with as much or as little guidance and instruction as you wish. Maybe you’ll zone in on charcoal drawing. Dive into watercolors. Or combine acrylic paints, magazine images, colored pencil, beads and fabric scraps to create a portrait of your dog. Who knows? No need to fret about that now—you’ll be ready when we get there. (However, if you have a project-in-progress you want to work on, feel free to bring it!)

We’ll finish in time for you to make it to happy hour. ;)

This is the best kind of “mental health day.” Treat yourself!
