Art therapists and artists alike have facilitated these workshops.
Join me, artist/art therapist Laura Bohn for this meaningful figure making workshop.  No experience necessary & basic materials provided.  Please bring bits of old broken jewelry, fabric scraps, shells or any other memorabilia that will help repurpose and personalize your figure.

  • Through a simple figure/ doll making process, the characters we create might express a story we can relate too. 
  • Are you drawn to the Wise Woman, Goddess, Heroine, Tree Woman, Moon Goddess, Mother Nature, or another female or male character?
  • Let your creative journey unfold intuitively as you build and costume your character.

Art Education:  Painting Classes

Picture
Saturday June 22nd, 2016
This painting workshop is for those with some experience or basic knowledge with acrylic painting.
            We will acknowledge how the rhythm, and gestures of our brush marks create movement throughout our painting. We will strive to create a dynamic composition with large bold strokes!
 Choose your subject matter and bring in a photo.  We will only use photo as a reference as we will take the subject of the photo and add it to a moving abstract painting.  Don’t have a subject that you want to paint?  That is okay as you can start with dynamic movement and see where it leads and then decide how to add a subject matter.
            We will move from an abstract beginning then add a subject if that is your goal.  You can also stay abstract if that is your choice.
            You will bring your choice of large canvas, paints and brushes.  To really move in a painting you have to go larger than usual!  Whatever sizes you usually start with go bigger!
  I will have extra brushes, some extra paint and some small Masonite boards for practice. 
 
This workshop is over. Contact Laura if you would like to see this on schedule.
