Printmaking Workshop
Cancer survivor and expert printmaker and painter Anne England will teach mono-printing, embossing and relief printing at the Festival this summer. "Art begins the minute that you're born," Anne says. "Babies notice movement and feel texture. I bring this inborn artistic awareness to all of the classes I teach, both here and abroad in Italy." Printmaking activities are free with Festival of Arts admission and scheduled daily.

Raku Ceramic Workshop
RAKU Ceramic Workshop - Paint-a-pot using the Japanese Raku ceramic glazing technique. Characteristics of this style are the random crackle and opalescence of the glaze and the blackened surface of the unglazed surface of the clay. Each piece is where fire, earth and chance merge, so each piece is one-of-a-kind! The kanji character for the term, RAKU, literally means "enjoyment" or "ease." This hands-on activity is held every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday during the summer from 2pm to 8pm. There is a minimal material fee of $15.00 and up per ceramic pot.
