Via ZOOM learn to handle watercolor effectively.  After transferring the drawing, you'll follow the instructor step-by-step to build designs in permanent Micron ink.  On top of that, we'll use the classical watercolor techniques to create a charming, whimsical, ready-to-frame painting.  Watercolors and ink together enable wonderful effects.  We will develop the painting step-by-step together. Please see below for supply list. There will be a 1 hour lunch break each day. Registration opens February 18.

Join in with this fun online puppeteering workshop! We will create puppets to tell stories together in playful, improvisational styles. Puppeteers are invited to collect some treasures before the workshop to help tell their stories. Objects from the natural world (shells, acorns, feathers, stones etc.), animal friends (cut out magazine images, stuffed animals, even a well behaved pet), or favorite costume clothing are welcome!

During the session students will explore adaptations of improv games, with a focus on surprising twists and turns, everyday dilemmas, and community celebrations. Good listening skills are a must. Other important requirements include being silly, accepting of others, open to new experiences, and joyful. Let's play with puppeteering!
