Culture Collective Events

Learn to capture the dynamic energy of the human figure in charcoal. Draw from mannequins and live models, finding the essence of a pose, and build initial sketches into developed figure drawings with form and weight.

Explore how plants, minerals, and other natural materials can be used to dye fabric with rich, layered, and often unexpected results. Learn foundational dyeing techniques and experiment with color, pattern, and texture as you create a series of dyed textile samples.

Learn principles of design while playing and experimenting with collage materials and techniques. Make collages with torn and cut shapes from paper and fabric, and create collage materials using ink, paint, and texture rubbings.

Drawing is more than an additive process! In this workshop, explore a variety of drawing techniques while looking to artworks in Ezrom Legae: Beasts for inspiration. Begin by coating your paper with graphite, charcoal, or Conté crayons, and practice adding and subtracting marks, lines, and shapes to create expressive drawings. Reveal forms by experimenting with different materials and erasers, and learn to convey space as you emphasize light and dark areas. At the end of the workshop, share your finished piece with fellow participants, and reflect on what emerged through your journey.
