AORTIA (Art of Relaxation with Tangle-Inspired Art) with Kathy Burnside

Saturday, March 8th
11 AM - 1 PM
Ages 18+

About the class:

In this class, you will be guided through the relaxing and meditative experience of drawing motifs using tangle-inspired techniques. You will learn fundamental patterns using dots, lines, curves and simple shapes, then create more complex designs combining these techniques. Throughout the workshop, you will take moments for deep breathing and mindfulness techniques and be encouraged to focus on the present moment and the sensory experience of drawing. Each participant will leave the workshop with a framed artwork.
