Whimsical Front Doors

In person

Amy McNamara

Students will learn about color mixing and practice drawing skills.  This can be a one-off image, the start of a series, or an interesting way to create a travel journal.

Introduction to Geometric Origami

In person

Rachel Davies

Amaze your friends and family with these beautiful origami artworks! The geometry looks very complex as its based on repeated patterns, rather than a known object like a crane or a flower. By performing simple folds, you are able to create wonderful designs.  Origami made from colored paper gives striking patterns of light and shadow, while patterned or decorative paper provides more ornamental results. Once you've mastered the basic ideas, you will learn how to attach your pieces to cardstock to create a pop-up sculptural card. Guidance will be given to the best types of paper needed to produce your own future creations.
