Create a coloring book you can take home to help you decompress after a long day, or to give as a gift. You will create a ‘reverse’ coloring book by using watercolor techniques to make designs that at a later date can be traced, with pens, markers, or color pencils as a mindful activity to complete the design. Class time will focus on painting and creating the pages and cover of the coloring book. The class will end with a simple book-binding lesson to finish up our coloring books to take home. The final coloring book can be up to 30 pages long. This class is open to all skill levels; no previous experience is required with painting or book binding. .

Maps are a form of communication, as well as art. Explore how we think of our world by creating maps of places and spaces that connect us to nature, our communities, or our emotions. In this class, we’ll focus on making a map out of textiles. We’ll play with texture, color, and patterns to make a map. Our map making process will consist of cutting, gluing, sewing, and embroidering a quilt square size piece of fabric. Supplies will be provided in class, but bringing in supplies is also encouraged. This class is open to all skill levels: instruction on basic sewing/embroidery techniques will be provided.

Other supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring any paper, scraps or supplies to use for yourself or share.
