Taught by Danielle Nelsen
Finding Meaning Through Visual Metaphor: What does your inner voice want to say?
Located in Centennial Room
Taught by Nautanya Kay
Every art piece one makes, is in some sense, a self-portrait. Participants in this workshop will engage in art projects that tap into their inner state of being, which can at times, exist just below consciousness. The hope is to sharpen one’s focus both on one’s strengths and challenges. Group members will work with oil pastels, illustration markers, and pencils.
Stories that Sizzle!
Located in North Studio
Taught by: Laurie Allen
This class will help participants develop better storytelling skills, learn what makes a good story, and help with self-confidence when working with others. This will be an interactive activity that aids with creativity and presentation skills, as well as crafting a story. Whether working with traditional stories or personal tales, this will help unlock the potential to involve and entertain others.
11:10-12:30

Piecing It Together
Located in North Studio
Taught by Stefanie Dykes Salt Grass Printmakers
Participants will carve small stamps to be combined into a 5″ × 7″ image on 8″ × 10″ printmaking paper.

Everyone will leave with a combination print, a few mini prints, and potentially a fabric version. All materials and tools will be provided.

Improvisation and the Creative Mind
Located in North Studio
Taught by Jerry Rapier/David Knoell Plan B
Learn the art of improvisation through the simple mantra “Yes, and…” Two simple words that spark creativity, collaboration, and very often, comedy. Improvisation teaches us to stay present in the moment and listen with our full self. And it also happens to be a lot of fun. Join us for games, laughs, and a few philosophical insights.
