rOBIN vALLENZUELA WORKSHOP
Robin is another returning guest artist with a new technique for us. Instead of Robin’s unique collages, she will be guiding participants through an unusual painting process to create her “Aspen Grove.” To quote Robin… “We will be working on a 9X12 inch Ampersand (brand name) Clayboard. This is s hard board that has a “clay” surface which can be carved into to creative textures. We will also use acrylic paints to finish the surface.” A great way to be introduced to a new process. The fee for this
workshop is $55 ($60 the day of the workshop). The registration fee covers all materials needed. The hours will be 1:00-4:00 pm at the gallery.
