SUMMARY:Language of the Soul™: Art Journaling for Self-Care — 2-Day Deep Dive: with Margie Woods
DESCRIPTION:October 3 and 4\, 2026\nSaturday and Sunday\, 10:00AM – 4:00PM\n$375\nSupplies Included\, Open to all skill levels \nThis immersive two-day workshop explores art journaling as a powerful tool for self-care\, emotional processing\, and creative renewal.

The workshop also introduces a variety of fun\, accessible techniques including layering\, texture\, collage\, color exploration\, and expressive mark-making\, offering both structure and freedom for discovery. Suitable for all experience levels\, this supportive environment encourages play\, experimentation\, and self-expression while helping participants loosen perfectionism and creative blocks.

SUMMARY:Gelli-Block Printing Series: with Pam Porter
DESCRIPTION:October 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 2026\nFour Tuesdays\, 9:30 AM – 12:00PM\nAll Skill Levels Welcome\n$150 \nCelebrate the rich color and layered beauty of fall through the playful process of Gelli-Block printing. This class features Pam Porter’s signature hybrid technique\, combining Gelli printing and linocut printmaking. Students will begin by creating vibrant\, one-of-a-kind monoprints using a soft gel printing plate\, acrylic paint\, textures\, and stencils. These expressive prints will then serve as background papers for linoleum block prints\, offering a simple and satisfying way to bring depth\, texture\, and color into linocut work. \nOver the course of this four-week series\, students will create prints inspired by pumpkins\, Indian corn\, autumn leaves\, aspen trees\, and other seasonal imagery. The class begins with exploratory Gelli printing and then moves into carving simple linoleum designs to print over the layered backgrounds. By the end of the series\, each student will have a collection of beautiful hand-printed cards. Open to all levels\, this class emphasizes process over perfection in a relaxed\, supportive environment that encourages experimentation\, creativity\, and personal expression. \nFor more information on Pam Porters: https://www.theartbase.org/about/people/ \nRegister

SUMMARY:Gelli-Block Printing Series: with Pam Porter
DESCRIPTION:October 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 2026\nFour Tuesdays\, 9:30 AM – 12:00PM\nAll Skill Levels Welcome\n$150 \nCelebrate the rich color and layered beauty of fall through the playful process of Gelli-Block printing. This class features Pam Porter’s signature hybrid technique\, combining Gelli printing and linocut printmaking. Students will begin by creating vibrant\, one-of-a-kind monoprints using a soft gel printing plate\, acrylic paint\, textures\, and stencils. These expressive prints will then serve as background papers for linoleum block prints\, offering a simple and satisfying way to bring depth\, texture\, and color into linocut work. \nOver the course of this four-week series\, students will create prints inspired by pumpkins\, Indian corn\, autumn leaves\, aspen trees\, and other seasonal imagery. The class begins with exploratory Gelli printing and then moves into carving simple linoleum designs to print over the layered backgrounds. By the end of the series\, each student will have a collection of beautiful hand-printed cards. Open to all levels\, this class emphasizes process over perfection in a relaxed\, supportive environment that encourages experimentation\, creativity\, and personal expression. \nFor more information on Pam Porters: https://www.theartbase.org/about/people/ \nRegister
