ART SAVES LIVES. And art can make you a living! Pedal Press founders Cathryn and Julia have held youth-led spaces for young people to explore their creative power for ten years now with Pedal Press, an artmaking, youth-focused community organization. No prior experience necessary; just be curious and ready to experiment, and we'll give you the support you need to find your creative flow. We'll explore a variety of art media and printmaking, with the optional goal of creating work to sell at a semester's-end pop-up market. We'll support you in going from idea to creation, and then to market, with YOU making the choices from start to finish.

This class is a fun, hands-on acrylic painting class where creativity meets the fundamentals. Each session explores core painting skills like color mixing, composition, brushwork, shading, and texture through guided practice and experimentation.

Join me in a fun introduction to watercolor. We will do some demos of different techniques. You will learn how to create a flow with water. Mixing color with a wet-on-wet technique. I will show how salt creates a wonderful effect and we will explore removal of pigment to create a relief of color. You will have the option of choosing words to be glued to your card. All supplies are included, including envelopes.
