Here is the latest lineup of workshops scheduled at OPAL. Check out the details and sign up early as these are one-time offerings.
Saturday, September 20th, 10am - 4pm
with Karen Sugay
Participants will create a collage of an owl in nature using reclaimed wallpapers, fabrics, buttons, etc. Participants will create a composition sketch and color palette, select some materials, and begin creating the background in the morning. The afternoon will be devoted to creating the owl using one of the patterns provided, putting it all together, and sharing it with the group. Participants may not be done with their piece, and that’s ok! Good art can’t be rushed!
Saturday, September 27th, 10am - 4pm
with Jackie Lakely
Inspired by the Microcosm Exhibit here at OPAL earlier this year, as well as the Angela Kauffman Gallery, which has monthly shows of miniature artworks, this workshop is an introduction to working in miniature with mixed media. We will create a series of six 1:12 scale pieces, ranging from 1” - 4” in width/length. The history of working in miniature goes back centuries and throughout many cultures all over the world, and it is having a renaissance now in the 2020’s. Historically, miniatures are known for precision and intricate detail, and while that is certainly an option in this class, we are focusing more on the creative possibilities when working within such tiny spaces.
