Join educator and mixed-media artist Andréa Lindberg for this intermediate-level, two-day intensive workshop exploring value, design, and color. Participants will playfully create layered works by adding acrylic paint and collage fodder, and then subtracting with an orbital sander if you choose or using sandpaper to develop texture and dimension. Choose to create new collage fodder or bring your own – or even bring an unfinished work to complete in the studio. Andréa will provide self-reflection exercises, model techniques, and support you as you create. Two sessions will allow your work to fully dry and give you space to ponder in-between. You’ll be working on three 12x12 wooden cradleboards, which will make your intuitive layering and modifying possible – and they’re easy to hang without frames. Come and enjoy artistic play to explore your authentic self – and the pure joy that art brings! $175 for this 2-day Intermediate Intensive Workshop | 18+ All Materials Included | Scholarships Available We will take a lunch break.

Working with students of all ages and creating were a natural pairing. As a professional, I created secure environments for students of all ages to take risks, play and experiment to support their learning endeavors. I am a life-long learner and I believe in taking risks, play and experimentation for myself. I hold a BA in Social Work, a BS in Education and a Teaching English as a Second Language certificate. I know we are all creative. I know we all benefit enormously from play, it’s not just for children. And I know we all experience release from creative endeavors, it’s good for you! Come!""
