Mixed Media Techniques - Spring 1


  • OPAL - Carriage House 720 Chicago Avenue Oak Park, IL, 60302 United States (map)

This multi-faceted class introduces participants to various wet and dry techniques in mixed water media, collage, and image transfer, in order to stimulate exploration and find personal expression in art making.

Instruction includes demonstrations, warm-ups, projects utilizing each technique, and one-on-one guidance and feedback. This class is often taken repeatedly, so the instructor will approach the various media differently in each session.

This class is ideal for people with some drawing and painting skills, though all levels are welcome. Please see the material list for supplies you will need to bring to class.

Tuesdays, 4:00 PM- 6:00 PM

Instructor: Jackie Lakely
