SUMMARY:Hare's Mystery - A three week Acrylic Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This acrylic workshop is about letting the image emerge from the unknown. We begin with a richly textured painted background. The “mystery” lies in the process. The final image slowly appears out of the background\, as if it was always there waiting to be discovered. \n\n\n\nI’ll be teaching a series of three acrylic painting classes called “Hare’s Mystery.”  \n\n\n\nThe technique focuses on unveiling the background behind the final image. First\, I’ll guide students in creating a textured\, painted background. Then\, we’ll use a semi-transparent mask to gradually reveal the final subject—in this case\, the Hare That’s the “mystery”: the subject emerges from the background. \n\n\n\nMaterial Included \n\n\n\n\nAcrylic paint\n\n\n\nAcrylic paint markers\n\n\n\nTrace paper with the floral design\n\n\n\n\nNote: Students\, please bring your round brush number 6 and 12 and white Charcoal pencil \n\n\n\nWednesdays. April 29th\, May 6th & 13th\, 2026

SUMMARY:Fabric Coil Bowls- A fabric based sculptural textile process with Lorna Beecroft
DESCRIPTION:Create a bowl from nothing but fabric and your sewing machine. Just stitch\, coil and shape. Slow down\, get creative and make something completely your own. \n\n\n\nIn this hands-on class\, you’ll learn how to create beautiful fabric coil bowls using a simple yet striking technique. Each bowl is formed by making a continuous rope entirely from fabric. The fabric itself becomes the structure. Once your rope is created\, you’ll stitch it into a spiral\, slowly building and shaping your bowl. Throughout the process\, you’ll discover how fabric choice\, strip width\, stitch selection\, and gentle guiding all influence the final form. This is a slow\, mindful method that allows the bowl to evolve naturally in your hands. \n\n\n\nNo two bowls will ever be the same and that is exactly the point. Each piece reflects your materials\, your decisions\, and your touch\, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind creation. \n\n\n\nYou are required to bring your own sewing machine with thread for this class. All other materials will be provided.
