Please note: this course costs $190-$380 on a sliding scale, with an additional materials fee of $50. You will pay a $100 deposit through my website to hold your spot, and then I will follow up with you to figure out the payment plan (up to 3 installments) and amount that works best for you. TWO TUITION-FREE SPOTS ARE AVAILABLE THIS SESSION (material fee waived for those spots).

FOR: Adults 18+ (All experience levels; 12 people max)

WHEN: January 7th to February 25th (8 weeks)

Wednesdays 6:30-8:30 @ the Northrup King Building

COURSE DESCRIPTION: In Color Memory, we will explore both how color pigments themselves carry centuries of stories and how different pigments evoke stories within us. This course blends technical skill building and personal reflection. We will make our own acrylic paints, learn color theory, and develop our ability to mix desired colors. We will also engage with writing prompts, tell stories, and create a final piece of acrylic or mixed-media artwork that depicts a personal memory of place or a moment in time that we access through our relationships to color.

My hope is that participants walk away with curiosity and reverence for the wild array of colors around us… especially in the dead of winter.

MATERIALS: There is a $50 materials fee for all paying participants — I’ll have all materials on site so you don’t need to purchase anything independently. During the course we will use pigment powder + an acrylic binder, ready-made acrylic paint, and collage materials on various surfaces.

COVID PRECAUTIONS: I will have an air purifier running at all times. I will offer snacks & drinks every session and strongly encourage people to wear masks (if they are able) when they are not eating/drinking.

NO-SHOW POLICY ON DAY #1: If you do not show up on Day 1 and do not communicate with me about your absence, then I will offer your spot to someone on the waitlist.
