Instructor: Glenda Goodrich


In this fun and light workshop we will explore true mixed media. Combining paint, papers, stenciling, and Posca pens, we will create pieces ranging from whimsical to serene, from birds to bouquets. Come engage in this critic-free environment that encourages relaxed playful expression. No drawing or collage experience needed. Please note we will break for lunch for about 30-45 minutes.


Please bring the below materials OR a $25 material fee. If you choose to pay the fee and have GG supply materials for you, please notify her when you register at glendaanne@msn.com and she will provide materials for you.
