A space for creativity and healing The creative process involved in making art is healing, enjoyable, and life enriching. Join us in this supportive studio environment for monthly art making workshops designed for both budding and experienced artists. Workshops are offered with no fee to cancer patients and their teen or adult guests No prior art experience is necessary All supplies are provided unless noted in the description January 16: Canvas Tote Bag Printing A canvas tote bag becomes the surface for a painting using acrylic paints. Design your own picture, bring a picture of a painting or photo to copy, or use stencils and sponge shapes to create designs on the bag. February 20: Legacy Dolls: Expressions of our Personal and Cultural Heritage Participants will create small figures as containers or carriers of personal and cultural heritage. The legacy dolls created will carry your stories as you fill them with thoughts, emotions, wishes, prayers, blessings and intentions. March 20: Spring Sun Catchers Come join us on the first day of spring to learn the art of silk fabric painting. Create your own design and then, using colorful dyes, paint your design onto a silk backdrop to create unique sun catcher decorations. Bring simple drawings or pictures that can be used for your design. April 17: Felted eggs and woven bird nests Participants will fashion tiny felted wool eggs and experiment with a range of materials to construct a bird nest to snuggle the eggs into.
