Each participant will have the chance to complete at least one piece of original artwork, along with starting their own collection of collage papers for future art works.
A $10 material fee is included in the price of this ticket. There will be snacks, tea, coffee and water available throughout the day; please plan on bringing a lunch (microwave, stovetop, fridge and toaster available for your use). Bring some outdoor gear for possible short stroll, and come prepared to get messy!
Please note: If you have accessibility needs, please reach out and we will work to accommodate you. While we strive to make our workshops accessible to all, we are located in a historical home that does not have accessible restrooms at this point; our lowest entrance has two steps to enter. We do not require masks at most events, but we do have masks available on site, and run high quality air filters, and ask that if you are not feeling well, please stay home. Refunds or credit for a future workshop can be made available.
We do have a scholarship fund! Reach out to arts@pnfarm.com to request financial aid for this workshop!
About the instructor:
After a successful 25 year career as a potter creating architectural elements and brightly painted functional ware, Ann began to focus on sculpture. Her bronze figurative sculptures have been shown extensively across the Western US, with over 350 pieces in private and public collections.
In 2016 Ann turned her focus to painting and mixed media. Using acrylics and the addition of handmade collage papers, Ann describes her process…“I want the surface of the painting to draw you in as much as the subject or the story.” Her work is figurative in nature, focusing on the female form.
With a Masters degree in art and teaching, Ann taught art at Oregon College of Arts and Crafts, Multnomah Art Center, Lewis and Clark College and has taught several workshops. Ann has also been active in arts organizing, contributing to the founding of art festivals and co-operative galleries and doing board work for multiple art organizations.
