Mini Watercolor Books
Saturday, Dec. 2nd, 9:30 am to 3:00 pm
at my studio in Artspace Hiawatha Lofts
Join me for this popular exploration into simple artist bookmaking.
Fun for all levels, however it will help to have some painting experience. Participants will start with exercises in color and texture; and then will incorporate these techniques into abstract watercolor paintings. The finished paintings will be accordion folded and bound into small books with a choice of cover options. These books make exceptional gifts!
Cost: $110 - Limit 5 participants
