The Creative Connection

Laurie Meseroll, lifelong artist, will show how handmade materials can bring an entirely new dimension to your work. You will prepare products from scratch and learn application methods for a variety of handmade materials. Laurie's formulary includes lavender rice paste, blood orange cold finishing wax, cold process brush soap, astral-projection creativity oil artist-care products, essentially-altered acrylics, and so on. Finally, you will use your freshly made materials with some new techniques to create an original piece of studio art! As Pablo Picasso said, "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary." Skill Level: No prior painting experience required but if you are already a pro, you'll learn new tricks!
