Sandra's Open Studio - Fall Sessions

Time to stretch!  The Studio is a great place to come and try new techniques, share ideas with fellow artists and stretch yourself.  It’s so important to make time to play and this is the perfect place to do it.  Materials are included, the mess stays here and anything goes.  So, challenge yourself to ask “what if?” this month and join us in the Studio for some creative fun.

October 19, 20, 22 Stretch! With Carla Sonheim as our inspiration, we will stretch our creative muscles and create a sweet little book in the process.

Wed. Nov 23 “IMPROV” Workshop with Sharon Chalmers  Be ‘in the moment’… impulsive, inventive, dramatic, playful.  Surprise yourself!  We’ll create a ‘diptych’, painting two (smallish) canvasses simultaneously.  Canvasses will have been prepared with randomly-applied molding paste for texture.  Chaos is encouraged!
