Workshops
The art of the book thrives on paper made from plants. In addition to traditional drawing and book arts workshops, Flight Path Press provides opportunities to transform grown and gathered plants into the visual and printed language of drawing, paper, and books. To sign up for a tailored workshop or to discuss a partnership or collaboration please contact Chelsea Herman at flightpathpress@gmail.com.
DRAWING ON THE 5 SENSES
Mondays 7PM - 8:00 PM at Flight Path Press
January 26 - February 23
This five day class leads participants in a series of short, meditative exercises designed for beginning and seasoned artists alike. Experiment with using color and mark making as a means of observing sensory and emotional experience. We’ll generate line, value, shape, volume, space, texture, and color in response to touch, taste, smell, sound, and vision. Flowers, herbs, and fruit will serve as our muse.
$40 Drop-in; $150 for complete series of five classes. All supplies included. Payment due 15 minutes prior to class via cash or PayPal. First come, first serve.
