Workshops

  • Guerrilla Workshops are free, down and dirty three hour sessions open to members who volunteer to gallery sit each quarter. Sitting once in a quarter qualifies the member to sign up for that quarter’s workshop. Examples of topics include: Collage, Plein Air Painting, Artwork for Greeting Cards, Pastel Basics and more. See the Calendar and E-blasts for Dates.

    NOTE: Members must pre-register for workshops.

  • WATERCOLOR FLORAL WORKSHOP

    Artist Instructor:  Jessica Lily

    Jessica is an award-winning watercolorist whose rich color and attention to detail make her an excellent choice for our first workshop of 2026.  In this one- day workshop, Jessica will do a demonstration in the morning and then artists will spend the remainder of the day working on their own piece with continuous help from Jessica.  She believes that failure is a learning tool, which allows her students to explore and be curious rather than seek perfection.  She doesn’t see workshops as the place to create masterpieces, rather it is an opportunity to be gentle with ourselves and really learn something.
