Come learn the basics of relief printing by carving your own stamps to decorate and personalize fabric and clothing. We’ll learn how to use carving tools, how to transfer images we want to carve onto soft blocks, and how to print our stamps onto both paper and fabric.  We’ll also experience the meditative and visual power of repetition and pattern. You don’t need to have previous printmaking or drawing skills to enjoy this workshop! All of the carving and printing materials will be provided, but you should bring fabric items that you might want to print on, such as spare tote bags or tshirts (ideally nothing you’re too attached to, since these will be for practice!)

Watercolor is a popular, flexible medium, and suitable for anyone that would like to capture the beauty of their surroundings. In this workshop we will explore watercolor basics, using a journaling/sketchbook approach. We’ll cover the basics of composition, value, brushwork and color relationships, experiment with color mixing and ink drawing, and finish by working from photos to create sketchbook paintings that can stand on their own or serve as inspirational notes for later studio works. At the end of the workshop, you should have begun a sketchbook of your own that you can carry virtually anywhere, which will allow you to record your life, travels, and progress in this medium. Suitable for beginners and more experienced painters alike.  

Learn to build forms, prepare sand mix concrete, sculpt and hand carve in the soft matrix in this wet-carved concrete workshop.  No power tools or hammer and chisel are required.   Students will be given a working understanding of Portland cement and the variety of possibilities the technique offers. Choose to make either a planter or sculpture of about 25 lbs. By the end of the carving day everyone will have completed their piece short of it having sit overnight to cure before handling.
