Wednesday October 28th 6-9PM - Notan paper cutting
Notan is a Japanese design concept that means "light-dark harmony or balance".
In this class we will explore the balance of positive and negative space by cutting shapes from a black square of paper and flipping them outward onto a white background.

Wednesday November 4th 6-9 PM- Printmaking
Linoleum or Lino Cut, is a hands-on printmaking class where participants learn to carve a design into a sheet of linoleum, ink it, and press it onto paper or fabric. Block printing has become highly popular because it requires no prior drawing experience and delivers immediate, satisfying, and deeply tactile results. We will be printing on a tea towel and paper in this class.

Wednesday November 11th 6-9 PM- Basics of Portrait Drawing with Sarah Booth Jacobs
We will practice close looking, mapping out the proportions of the face, and identifying "likeness"--students should be prepared to draw and be drawn by each other!

Wednesday November 18th 6-9 PM- Shadowboxes
In this class we will create a small-scale assemblage shadow box.  Participants will design and build their own miniature 3D worlds inside compact cardboard frame. It combines storytelling, crafting, and fine arts into an immersive, tactile experience.
