Come explore the magic of hand-printing through the collagraph printing process with Erika Bass and Sara Porter. Using lightweight cardboard, we will cut and glue shaped surfaces which we will print. These prints can then be enhanced with water-based paints to create rich, expressive, one-of-a-kind artworks. Register for FLOURISH on 4.23.26 at https://bit.ly/26flourish

Come create tiny collages with acclaimed Northwest painter and mixed media artist Diane Culhane! We will discover fun textures, colors and patterns in cut and torn papers and photographs, then glue them down to make an imaginative background for simple drawing. Next we'll paint gesso in the spaces in between the lines to tell a simple story of a flower, a bicycle, a house, a dream.
