Mixed Media

Thursday PM Class

  • In This Class, You'll Learn:

    We will use paint, collage, stamping, and multiple drawing implements to produce richly layered works that combine structure and improvisation.

    You will learn new techniques and approaches through demos, inspirational artists, and 1-on-1 guidance from the instructor. Students will develop both technical skills and personal style.

    Join us as we indulge ourselves on Thursday nights!
