DESCRIPTION

"It's not about getting there first, or trying to find glory in something, so much as it is about just enjoying the possibility of experimenting" -John Flanssburgh

In this fun and interactive workshop, Leila Block will introduce you to the world of mixed media art. You’ll create a small, finished piece of artwork, starting from scratch and exploring a variety of techniques. The class will focus on combining automatic drawing and writing with collage elements and original art, encouraging you to tap into your creativity in unexpected ways. Whether you're new to art or looking to experiment with different mediums, this workshop provides a welcoming space for self-expression and exploration.

Throughout the session, Leila will guide you through each step of the process, helping you develop your own personal style while playing with textures, layers, and materials. By the end, you’ll leave with a unique mixed media piece that reflects your creative journey, along with the confidence to continue experimenting with these versatile techniques on your own. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your imagination and a willingness to try something new!
