YOUTH AND FAMILY PROGRAMS
Sunday, November 6, 2 – 4 p.m. Experience the pleasure of drawing in the museum’s galleries. This workshop is led by a teaching artist and provides drawing instruction, art supplies and enough space to spread out. EKPHRASTIC POETRY WORKSHOP WITH JANISSE RAY Friday, November 18, 11 a.m. Ekphrastic poems explore a work of visual art, diving more deeply into its themes. The exhibition “Kristin Leachman: Longleaf Lines” will inspire us to write. No experience as a poet or writer is needed. Janisse Ray will talk about this poetic form, read a few ekphrastic poems, and give us a quick lesson on how to approach the art so that it speaks to us. Then she’ll turn us loose to listen (and report on paper) what a painting says to us. We will reconvene to discuss the process. BOTANICAL PRINTING WORKSHOP WITH BEA BROWN Saturday, December 3, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Capture nature on silk! In this workshop you will learn how to create stunning botanical prints on silk using local flowers, plants, colorful leaves and evergreens. This wildly popular technique will allow you to produce a one-of-a-kind luxury fashion accessory to add to your wardrobe or to give as a gift that will be cherished. Step-by-step instructions will be facilitated by Beatrice Brown, textile artist, in a one-day, fun-filled workshop. $35 registration fee.
