Discover your artistic potential at UpMarket Gallery with our 2025 art classes, designed to inspire creativity and expand your skills. Led by renowned artists, these workshops offer an opportunity for beginners and experienced creators alike to explore innovative techniques and refine their visual language in a supportive, collaborative environment. From gel plate printmaking and abstraction by design to mixed media explorations and personal visual language development, our diverse lineup has something for everyone. Join us as we transform ideas into art and foster a community of creativity.
Explore ways to blend color, line and gesture with cloth and paper. We will begin by making a suite of mono printed papers through touch drawing on tissue. We will continue our explorations with translucency by dyeing lengths of silk organza. We will dip lengths of watercolor paper into the dye waste to transform whites into new soft tones of color. Using the visual tools of collage, we will play with silk and papers tolayer, slice and build new surfaces. Workshop will include demos regarding fusing, gluing and stitching materials. Design prompts to include repetition of simple geometric forms to yield a rhythmic mixed media paperscape.
