Relief Printmaking
with Heather Hogan

Paper, cards, flour-sack towels, and drawstring pouches will be provided, but students are encouraged to bring multiple garments and fabrics to print upon. Tips and techniques for collaging paper prints and securing fabric printed patches to garments will be discussed.

Sculptural Papermaking
with Bev Barnett

Saturday, August 22 | 10 AM – 2 PM
$115 Members | $125 Non-Members (All materials included)

With artist Bev Barnett, embark on a unique adventure to transform ordinary household recycling, kitchen waste, and foraged botanicals into textured handmade paper that tells a compelling story. In this workshop, we’ll move beyond the notion that paper should be flat, creating low-relief sculpture and highly textured sheets. You’ll master a simple, low-water method using a household blender to macerate pulp and learn how to incorporate color without messy dyes. By the time you leave, you’ll have 8 to 10 handmade papers, a blueprint for your own home studio, and the confidence to keep creating.

Healing Arts Program

This program offers a six-week workshop that uses art as a healing language for those experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one, as well as one-time workshops that focus more broadly on themes related to depression, anxiety, or major life changes. Through the process of art making, participants have opportunities for discussion, education, and connecting with peers in a safe and supportive space.

This program is generously sponsored by Bob & Joanne Andresen. Participants must be 18 or older, and no art experience is necessary. Limited to the first 8 participants who register. Registration online is required.
