This 3-day workshop is about exploring alternative ways of depicting faces in our work. It’s really about demystifying portrait-making through intuitive prompts using papers, paint, image transfers, and line makers. We will then gather our various images and create tender little books filled with awe and wonderment. As always, we’ll grant our undeniable wish to come into our own, to retreat, to explore our intimate visual worlds with ease, lightness, and in camaraderie.
