It’s Winter – time to come inside and Play!

Want to think outside the box? Maybe you’re an artist who needs loosening up, or maybe you want to discover something new. Either way this 2 day session at the Museum will give you a new appreciation for your creative self! Diane is well-known for her enthusiasm in making novices feel comfortable while giving fellow artists the encouragement to try something new. The session begins the basics of Monotype including some printing tricks, but the focus is on creative experiment, using everything from cemetery rubbings (a local field trip weather permitting), primitive self portraits, and design elements of all kinds. Come learn how Monotype and Collage can stimulate and transform your approach. You’ll go away with new parameters regarding creativity, revived old discarded works, intriguing self portraits or simply some captivating Valentines, but you will be stimulated and have new ideas to go ‘play’ with.
