Using vintage/found papers, hand stitching, lace, tape, collage and more Wendy will spend the day with us sharing unconventional ways for transforming a simple journal into a one-of-a-kind art piece.

Come join artist Wendy Brightbill for a day of creative exploration. In Wendy’s Vintage Stitched Collage Canvas workshop we will build layer upon layer atop a canvas base. Much as an old fashioned sewing circle we will sit side by side, needle in hand as we create our stitched canvases. With a sprinkling of paper and paint, perhaps a snip of fabric, Wendy will share her process for creating the beautiful pieces she is known for. Come spend the day with us, making new friends and catching up with old, as we learn to create in this colorful, lively Wendy way!

Playing Big Abstract Painting Class
Please go here to register for this class.
Is there something keeping you from playing big in your painting? Are you wanting to push through creative blocks and create the kind of art you see in your dreams? Then join us for Playing Big Abstract Painting Class.
This last year I noticed that there was a real disconnect in the art that I was making and the art I really wanted to make. For whatever reason, I just wasn’t painting what I really wanted to paint. So I gave myself permission to really play big! This class is all about taking big risks and putting it all out there. No holding back!!! Working on a large piece of watercolor paper, we will explore color, mark making, style and composition. Get lost in the process and create with abandon.
- Gather inspiration for color palettes that fit your art personality.
- Create your own style and color boards to draw on for inspiration.
- Explore your very own abstract painting style by looking at some of your favorite abstract painters.
- Create dimension in your piece by layering shapes and colors with watercolors and acrylic paints.
- Discuss composition and how to balance your abstract pieces.
- Work through creative blocks keeping you back from your most authentic work.
- Make marks and lines to finish off your pieces.
- Embrace the process of creating and find what brings you joy in painting to take home to your daily creative practice.
