The Art of A Neighbourhood
Let’s get to know more about this community together!
Join me as we use conventional and handmade art materials to create works that tell some of the stories
of our Canyon Meadows community.
We’ll spend some of each workshop in the immediate area of the venue (weather permitting)
Session 1
Mixed Media Collage
We'll create rubbings using watercolour crayon, prints using found objects and textured paint using organic
materials from the neighbourhood. These will be some of the layers used to develop collages on paper.
All ages 8 and up welcome
