<h3>About the Class</h3>
<p>For
 any student interested in using handmade paper to create sculptural 
forms with armatures, this is a class for you! Students will learn 
building methods for armatures and ways to wrap and dip their armatures 
in handmade paper prepared in a way that is called “high shrinkage.” In 
this method, paper pulp has been beaten for a long period of time to 
absorb a large amount of water, and dramatic transformations can occur 
when the form dries. All supplies are provided through the materials 
fee. La maestra habla español.<br><br>Papermaking is a wet process, 
please wear clothing and shoes that can get wet. Papermaking also 
involves some lifting and arm movements.<br><br>Note: There will be a one-hour lunch break each day. Please bring a bag lunch.</p>

<h6><strong>program overview</strong></h6>
<p>Roll
 up your sleeves and join us for a fun Print Lab evening celebrating 
Pride Month, with special guest, Ash Hay – one of our featured June 
Causeway Gallery artists!<br><br>Print Lab is not a traditional class, 
but an affordable art-making experience. Our mission is to explore a 
creative arts technique socially with our community. We welcome you to 
print, play and experiment with an activity to create something unique 
in our printmaking studio!<br><br>This month we will explore a fun printmaking technique known as Trace Monotype.&nbsp;<br>Trace
 monotypes involve drawing directly onto an inked plate and do not 
require the use of a press! The pressure of the pencil transfers the ink
 to the paper, creating a soft look to prints with unlimited options. 
Guests will learn about the variety of mark making, and explore 
expressive textures on an inky surface.&nbsp;<br><br>Ash Hay will give a 
short artist talk, and teach the basics of creating trace monotypes, a 
printmaking process they enjoy using to create prints. They will share 
their process of incorporating layered prints, as well as utilizing 
mixed media. Come join us, make some monotypes to take home, and explore
 the possibilities!&nbsp;<br><br>Enjoy light refreshments during this printmaking activity. No previous experience is necessary!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Join
 us for an exploration of the innovative possibilities within crochet! 
This workshop invites you to delve into the sculptural aspects of the 
craft by stitching directly onto natural objects and witnessing their 
transformation. Drawing inspiration from a rich tradition, you will be 
introduced to a variety of techniques that help conform to the natural 
changes in shape, accommodate extensions and tight corners, leave open 
spaces, and utilize essential materials such as yarn, crochet hook, and 
natural items like twigs, stones, and shells. Guided throughout the 
process, you will engage with your materials, integrating them into 
form-fitting creations that breathe new life into familiar objects. 
These “cozies” not only redefine their purpose but also elevate them 
into unique artistic statements. By the end of the workshop, you can 
expect to take home a few small finished pieces or work samples to 
inspire further creativity. A basic understanding of crochet is 
required.<br><br>Please bring the following to the workshop:</p>
<ul>
<li>Natural objects to wrap: a stone (palm size), a shell 2-3 inches, 
and a small branch section, approx 6 inches length with 1-3 side 
branches.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Yarn: 2 skeins (different colors) of Pima 100 yarn.</li>



<li>Crochet hook: Size 2.5 mm</li>
</ul>
<p>Please consider supporting Sonoma’s local yarn shop <a href="https://share.google/ZkUKEKSbcOb2etOOq" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Noma Knits</a>. Students receive a 10% discount when purchasing supplies for this workshop.</p>

<h3>About the Class</h3>
<p>This
 workshop guides you through the full journey of creating a compelling 
abstract work from start to finish. You’ll strengthen your artistic 
instincts while learning how to build a meaningful concept or visual 
narrative that anchors your piece.<br><br>We will explore:</p>
<ul>
<li>Developing intuitive decision-making</li>



<li>Building, adjusting, and refining layers</li>



<li>Finding balance between control and spontaneity</li>



<li>Creating dynamic focal points and luminous highlights</li>
</ul>
<p>Using
 a wide range of mixed media materials — including collage, paint, 
crayons, oil pastels, and unexpected household tools like plastic wrap 
and Q-tips — you’ll experiment with texture, mark-making, and innovative
 surface techniques.<br><br>This class is about courage, curiosity, and 
learning how to “wrestle” with a painting until it becomes something 
honest, layered, and alive.<br><br>Paints and substrate will be provided through the materials fee. See the supply list for additional items to bring.<br><br><strong>Note: There will be a one-hour lunch break. Please bring a bag lunch.</strong></p>
