Layered Expressions with Stanley Bell

February 21 – 22, 2026

Saturday, 10:00am-2:00pm

Explore a simple, confidence-building process for creating bold, layered artwork. Learn about Stanley’s inspiration and process, as well as take a brief look at the history of mixed media through the practices of Robert Rauschenberg and Mark Bradford. Learn how to approach a blank surface using small panels, then develop ideas through collage, paint, stencils, pattern, and mark-making with both group discussion and individual guidance. On the second day, focus on positive critique, refining compositions, and finishing techniques—including the use of non-toxic ArtResin—to bring each piece to completion. The workshop concludes with an encouraging conversation about process, connection, and how to carry this work forward into your own creative practice.
