(Save the date: Next workshop at Pnina's Studio in San Diego is April 19th, 2020!)

My workshops are always about inspiring creativity, generating ideas and learning how to see. The ideas can be translated into a variety of art forms. Use your art journal "as is" or for a springboard of inspiration for other art forms and living a creative life!

Please note there is a small supply list.

More details will be sent upon registration.

Beginners to advanced are welcome in ALL of the classes.

Transformative Textures: Lessons in Multi-Layered Surfaces

"A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world. Just as a flower, by virtue of its existence as a complete organism is both ornamental and self-sufficient as to color, form, and texture, so art, because of its singular existence is more than mere ornament." -Hans Hofmann

What is it about texture that captures our attention and draws us in?

Experience sensual joy as you explore a wide variety of mark making tools and materials (acrylic paints, paint markers, pencils and more.) Gain new experience under guided exercises and free play as you create a multi-layered visual feast of texture, color, shape and more.

Create original pages and leave with your own handmade sample swatch book, an inspirational reference book of textural remnants.

Build confidence as you add to your artist's toolbox of explorations. Find joy in the process of harvesting ideas through hands on experiments, guided and demonstrated techniques and unexpected discoveries in the process.

Delight in the discovery! Prepare to get messy and build up the layers!

Supply list: *your journal with 4 to 6 pages already collaged with one main image and 3 snippets of background elements. You will be sent various examples upon signing up, a very small selection of favorite collage ephemera (think about reading this when choosing your images and papers), an apron, baby wipes, scissors, metal ruler, a full roll of paper towels OR old rags, a container for your paint water, your favorite paint brushes,  a few of your favorite glue sticks (please trust me when I say that large glue sticks will last you longer. I always have two or three 40 gram glue sticks in my journal bag and that's more than enough for a long weekend. You WILL go through the smaller glue sticks in MINUTES), roll of waxed paper OR an old catalog or magazine to glue on (if you don't want to use all of your waxed paper for this.)

 


I hope to see you there!
