upcoming virtual and in-person workshops.
ARA x RIT - Body Mapping
Creative wellness series presented in partnership with Rochester Institute of Technology.
Explore their unique sense of self through this workshop tuning into the emotional body, and expressing experience through color, texture and movement. Enhance your mind-body-spirit connection through a unique approach to somatic creative expression. Through movement, guided meditation, and creative journaling, enhance your awareness of your emotional body and learn new ways to converse and understand its messages.
Serti Silk Painting
Serti silk painting uses gutta resist and silk dyes to create beautiful watercoloresque patterns and imagery. In this class you will learn about the serti method and create your own 21” square silk scarf by tracing patterns with gutta, selecting a color palette, and painting with silk dyes. We will provide the tracing patterns should you want them, or you are welcome to free hand your patterns. No previous experience with drawing or painting is needed. This class is fun and relaxing and you will come away with a lovely new silk scarf!
Please note: Your finished piece will need to sit for 24 hours and then be dye-set. We will complete this part of the process for you and will have your scarf available for pickup or mailing the following week.
