Meets 3 sessions: January 25th 9:30a-12:30 CST; 1:30p-4:30 CST and February 1, 2025 10a-noon CST

From base layers to surface design. In this live online workshop, we’ll create a mixed media, relief style sculpture using textiles, natural elements, and found objects on traditional panels or alternative substrates.

Working through the techniques presented, we’ll seek visual connections between the materials and elements, while discussing what it means to “lean in and listen” to the work, allowing it to become deeply meaningful, symbolic, and personal.

✔️ Selecting elements and planning your design
