Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary art-making techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Transportation will be provided, if required. Participants may join one session (two days) or more! Session 1: October 13 & October 20 Explore monumental and diminutive scales and create a figurine out of clay.
