Fast-drying, low-odor acrylic is a versatile painting medium! The focus of this workshop will be on learning to mix
colors, using mediums, and learning basic painting techniques through practice exercises and a final project. Several short,
useful exercises will help you understand paint-handling and basic color theory before you begin a painting from a still life
or your own photographic references (your choice). Sat/Sun,
March 2 & 3 9-4 Sat, 10-5 Sun Held in conjunction with UW Continuing Studies.
Registration is handled by UW, please

Fun with Graphite
Mini Workshop Kay Brathol-Hostvet
NEW!
There is a simplicity to
graphite that most of us admire, from doodles using an ordinary #2 pencil to super realism done with pencils
ranging from very hard to very soft "leads." We'll play with various types of graphite pencils and manipulate
graphite powder in a range of fun projects. You'll learn a whole lot about erasers as tools, too. All supplies provided, no drawing experience necessary! Fri March 8, 1 - 4, $60.

Book Structures: Paired Needle Binding Jackie Hefty
It just sounds difficult, not really so hard, but it gives you bragging rights! You will be sure to impress your
friends or family with your bookmaking skills when you show them this creation. An exposed stitching design on the spine of
the book resembles a herringbone pattern. This book is designed to lie flat when open which allows for ease in drawing
or writing. Makes a great gift! Previous book making is recommended, but not required. Minimal supplies are necessary to continue
making beautiful books at home. Class sizes are limited. All materials needed are included but suggestions for personal embellishments
are provided in the supply list. Sat & Sun Mar 23, 24 1 - 4
$65/$10 materials
