Design Workshops for Women—New Dates!

 WHO: Women Who Design ...

Have you ever dreamed of making art, but didn't know where to begin?

Would you like a sense of satisfaction and have fun in the process?

What : An experience for your mind and soul. Escape the winter blahs and join us for enjoyable art experiences!

This is a multi-media program designed by local artist and Princeton Arts Society member, Andrea Driscoll, to help women to express their creativity by achieving a relationship with artistic materials.

Daytime Multi-Media Workshops begin on March 8, 2012

6 SESSIONS on Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 am., to include:

• Printing:  Learn to design and print cards, and use prints in collages and drawings or paintings.
• Collage:  Experience the freedom of creating new designs from paper and other materials to create a unique piece of art.
• "Green Art":  Help the environment by creating something new from something old. Paints, collage, beads and fiber are part of the fun. Bring an object (tray, lamp, box, etc.)  to re-purpose with your own  flair.

Cost: $120 for six sessions, plus some basic supplies. Payment is due one week before the class begins.
