BOOKFUL 8INSIDE / OUTSIDE

ONLINE with Bari Zaki—Saturdays, October 1, 8, 15 and 22, 2022.  10 am — 1 pm / Chicago time.

In this BOOKFUL, Bari will lead us in the first week in making an accordion book with gorgeous Stonehenge paper and in the next 3 weeks I'll lead us in filling the book with painted paper collages—both pictorial and abstract. We can add some words too, if we like. Our books are documents of this time and memories too.Our subject matter is the things around us that offer us simple joys, both inside our homes and outside—the food we eat, a teapot and favorite book, a potted plant and a treasured object. And the trees on our walk outside, our vegetable garden or a favorite plant.

Drawing Summer 
 

ONLINE weekend workshop: Friday/Saturday/Sunday June 17, 18, 19, 2022.     10 am—1pm EST

In this workshop we'll celebrate the colors and life so abundant in summer by drawing and painting in experimental ways. This is an opportunity to see where drawing takes you. When we work together we really amplify our creative energy so we'll have plenty of fuel and ideas to carry us forward. I believe that art is a path to the peace and joy the world needs more of!
