About this Event

We will be making a piece in an unconventional way! Instead of thinking I need to get from A to B it's going to be more like getting from A to Watermelon, where you have all your tools and skills for making but take a more random approach to having an end art piece. We will be creating with an array of mixed mediums including paint, tape, crayons, pastels, markers, paper, glue, etc ! We will start with a short intro and some demos of different painting techniques then followed by a making session.

Workshops are recommended for people ages 12 and over. Children under 12 years old are welcome with parent/guardian supervision. Please get a ticket for each person (incl. all children).

The workshop is pay what you can! Suggested $20 - $30 to support facilitator fees and supplies.

If you have any questions, please email us: [email protected]
