What to Expect:

We are made of layers, memories, roles, longings, dreams, resilience and joy.

In this creative three hour workshop, you will create a mixed media identity portrait using fabric, found objects, paint, meaningful words, magazine images and textured collage.

Through guided reflection and gentle creative prompts you will:

• Explore the many dimensions of who you are

• Transform personal symbols into visual story

• Layer texture, color and meaning

• Create a portrait that reflects your inner landscape

No art experience  needed only curiosity...

All materials will be provided.  However feel free to bring your own images, objects etc that identify you to put on your portraits.

Leave with a one-of- a-kind piece of art, and perhaps a deeper connection to yourself.
