Colored Pencil Workshop at Bloom Creative Studio
Colored pencil art classes at Bloom Creative Studio, a studio with a purpose.
Jeffrey M Green, a fine artist from Bangor, PA, is giving monthly colored pencil workshops at Bloom Creative Studio in downtown Bangor. Jeffrey has been using this medium for over 20 years. His art has been featured in COLORED PENCIL Magazine, CP Magazine, and Lehigh Valley Style.
Students learn the basics of layering and burnishing with a new subject in each class. All materials are provided, while keeping the cost of each class reasonable. In addition, the proceeds for the studio go toward supporting the community with its unique program. This month’s class will be held on November 12th from 6:30 - 8:30 pm.
Bloom Creative Studio, situated on Broadway in the downtown area of Bangor, is a studio with a purpose. Here the community can enjoy creativity of every kind – from paper craft, ceramics, and fiber art, to painting and drawing.
Carol Anderson, the proprietor and guiding force of Bloom Creative Studio, has a number of goals for it’s future. The purpose of the studio is as an outreach to women in the community. It serves as a positive role and fresh start for women in need, for women that have endured struggles, trials, trauma, and addiction. The view is toward growing, learning skills, communication, accountability, problem solving, and goal setting. It also serves as an outlet of fun and enrichment, a great place for birthday parties and events.
The studio will employ chronically unemployed, impoverished women in a transitional job, helping them earn the job readiness and interpersonal life skills needed to move into career entry-level employment. By working in an active business, women learn basic job skills such as reliability, accuracy, punctuality, attention to detail, and attendance; while also addressing life skills. These accomplishments help Bloom graduates go on to lead successful, self efficient, and fulfilling lives, creating a new future - for themselves, their families, our community, and our economy.
Jeffrey Green is excited to be part of the artists at Bloom and looks forward to its growth in the community.
Bloom is non-profit, every purchase and donation goes toward women in need.
