Blind contour drawing, bilateral drawing and pastels made in response to music, all aimed at shutting off the part of your brain that judges. Two hours, no experience needed, ages eighteen and up.

The Tuesday afternoon version of the drawing workshop built around giving up control. Two hours of blind contour, music response pastels and other exercises meant to loosen a stiff hand.

A weekend of handmade work in the gallery on Mirror Lake Road, landing the weekend before Thanksgiving. Doors noon to five both days, which is the whole window, so do not stroll in at ten of.
