  Healing through Color Expression

  taught by Stephanie Stolar

  Feeling is healing. And what expresses, elicits, and evokes feeling like color? In this class we will explore and use different color mediums/media to express and process emotions, loss, relationships, and/or events.

  We will begin with an opening circle and check in, followed by a brief grounding, centering guided meditation. The majority of class time will be spent creating, followed by an ending circle where we will have time and space to share about and process our works.

  All experience levels are welcome. No artistic talent or experience neccessary. All materials will be provided.

  Feathered Friends:

  Inspired by Amy Tan's The Backyard Bird Chronicles

  taught by Jo Johnson

  In this hands-on adult art class, students will explore drawing and painting birds through a variety of approachable techniques, inspired by Amy Tan’s The Backyard Bird Chronicles. We’ll begin by practicing sketching basic bird shapes using pencil, then move into expressive brush and ink work. Students will follow a step-by-step watercolor demonstration to paint a bird, enhancing details and texture with colored pencils. Drawing inspiration from Tan’s observations and artistic journaling, each student will select one of their bird studies to transform into a mixed media collage, combining drawing, painting, and layered materials for a unique final piece. No prior experience is necessary—just curiosity, creativity, and a love of birds.
