Craft: Junk Journals
Join us to find what the buzz is about junk journals and learn how to create your own! At its essence, a junk journal is filled with a mishmash of papers, ephemera, scraps, and embellishments. Unlike traditional journals, which often feature pristine pages and neat lines, junk journals embrace chaos and imperfection. They invite you to explore the art of collage, mixed media, and storytelling in a freestyle manner. The beauty of a junk journal lies in its eclectic nature, where each page is a unique expression of colors, textures, memories, and feelings!

Craft: Monoprinting
In this class, we'll walk you through the very same process that Andy Warhol made famous using simple materials: a nib pen, acrylic ink and transparency film. Without any drawing skills required, you’ll learn how to create one-of-a-kind monoprints by tracing over an image, then adding a touch of watercolor to make your designs pop.

Craft: Inspired by Picture Books
There's no need to visit a museum or fancy gallery to find beautiful art when there's a whole world of inspiring illustrations to be found inside children's picture books. We'll start with a creative prompt inspired by the art in each book then explore the elements of line, shape, and color while focusing on using accessible tools and materials found in most classrooms. Try playing with watercolor, tempera paint, oil pastels, or whatever materials inspire you. This class includes drawing, painting, and collage.
