I’m thrilled to invite you to an immersive art course designed to offer dedicated time and space for diving deep into a variety of art-making techniques. Over the course of seven weeks, we’ll explore watercolor, batik, and printmaking, culminating in a final week dedicated to mixed media where we’ll blend all of our newfound skills. Each part of the course is thoughtfully structured to support mindful and intentional creation, allowing you to slow down, connect with your inner artist, and develop your skills. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just beginning your creative journey, this course is designed to inspire exploration, deepen your practice, and unlock new forms of expression. Course Breakdown:

1. Watercolor (Weeks 1-2): Immerse yourself in the soothing flow of watercolor, exploring techniques such as washes, blending, and layering to create vibrant and expressive pieces.

2. Batik (Weeks 3-4): Dive into the ancient art of batik, working with wax resist and fabric dyes to craft richly textured, layered designs on fabric and paper.

3. Printmaking (Weeks 5-6): Discover the fundamentals of printmaking, including monoprints and relief techniques, to develop your own series of unique prints.

4. Mixed Media (Week 7): In our final week, bring everything together by combining techniques from the previous sessions. We’ll explore new ways to layer materials, integrate collage, and experiment with found objects, allowing you to create complex, multi-dimensional artworks that reflect your creative journey.

Each session will include demonstrations, guided exercises, and plenty of hands-on time to explore the techniques. By the end, you’ll have a portfolio of work and a toolkit of new skills to continue creating on your own. Plus, you’ll be part of a supportive community of fellow creatives to share inspiration and ideas with along the way.
