WORKSHOPS ARE LISTED IN DATE ORDER
"Dare To Be Creative”
Instructor: Denise Vezza Maggiore
Thursdays, Sept 3rd, 10th, 17th, & 24th, 2026
Time: 1:00pm-4:00pm
Four different one day sessions are available on Thursday afternoons.
Limited to 25 students
Learn how to unlock your creativity through guided artistic exploration, imaginative expression, and hands-on creative techniques in a welcoming, supportive environment. Perfect for all skill levels - no prior art experience needed.
During these sessions, Denise will introduce creative concepts, give general instructions and lead in the process of tapping into your own thoughts, dreams and meditations to express your imagination. You develop your own image, using supplied drawing or painting mediums on paper. At the end of each session, we will share our work with the group, to encourage one another. We will share our inspiration for the image, talk about out the process we used, and its personal meaning.
"Watercolor Batik”
Instructor: Ryan Fox
Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 19th & 20th, 2026
Time: 9:00am-4:30pm
This is a two-day workshop. Limited to 12 students
Discover a vibrant new way to paint!
In this exciting workshop, you’ll explore watercolor batik — a luminous fusion of watercolor and wax on delicate Japanese rice paper. Using a modern twist on the age-old batik process (where melted wax is applied to fabric to resist dye), you’ll layer rich color, shimmering highlights, and dramatic shadows to create artwork with gorgeous texture and depth.
We’ll start with a simple drawing, then dive right into technique: how to build light and shadow, when and where to apply hot wax to preserve details, and how to develop that signature batik “crackle” effect.
"Celebrate Your Creative Self”
Instructor: Pam Coffman
Saturday Oct. 10th 2026
Time: 10:00am - 3:00pm
This is a one-day workshop. Limited to 12 students
We will experiment with a variety of mixed media activities and techniques to help you kick your inner critic to the curb and invite your inner child and creative muse to take over. We will play with a little bit of this, a little bit of that and break some rules to help ignite and recharge our creative spark. This is the perfect workshop for those who are convinced they are not very creative and for the seasoned artist whose work has gotten tight and predictable. No inner critics allowed! Be prepared to get messy!
"Easy Solution To Watercolor Landscapes”
Instructor: Tom Jones
Saturday - Sunday Oct. 17-18, 2026
Time: 9:00am-4:00pm
This is a two-day workshop. Limited to 16 students
Tom’s workshops are based on fun and learning. You will be shown the importance of variety of color-edges and shapes to draw the viewer into your painting. You will learn the easy approach to using brush strokes to create an impressionistic watercolor that only the great masters could accomplish.
"Layers of Design-Watercolor Pouring”
Instructor: Ryan Fox
Saturday & Sunday, Oct. 31st & Nov 1st, 2026
Time: 9:00am-4:30pm
This is a two-day workshop. Limited to 12 students
Learn to create luminous, expressive watercolor paintings — without ever picking up a brush. In this two-day workshop, we’ll focus on intentional design and careful planning as you explore the art of pouring diluted watercolor directly onto paper. Pouring allows you to achieve rich color transitions, soft blends, and glowing transparent layers that simply aren’t possible with traditional brushwork.
