Fridays  9:30 am- Noon Studio 2

April 24 - May 22  (4 classes)(Skips May 8)

4 weeks   ALL Levels

$100 for Members $120 for non members

Bring your own scissors. A ruler would be nice, also.

There's no material fee, but please bring your own gelli plate and brayer if you are interested in "Gelli Printing".

I do have a little extra equipment if you want to "try before you buy" a Gelli plate and brayer.

I will supply papers, collage materials, paint, stencils, mediums. But it's great if you bring things you have found, or pictures of people or things you want in your design. I can print from your photo.

If you have images, or materials you want to use, bring them. Or come with nothing in mind and just explore.

Make AMAZING Art!

Let's play!

Let's start without caring where we end up.

Or start with a plan and stick to it.

It's low pressure learning.

It's about mediums and color, cutting, tearing and pasting,

using brushes, finding a stencil to start or end a thought,

and exploring gelli plates.

Composition is the hidden prize!
