TOUCH DRAWING WORKSHOP INTENSIVE

Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm
Sunday, 10 am to 1 pm
Fee: $120.00
 *All supplies included
Join us for this 2 day workshop! Come and explore the simple yet profound process of "Touch Drawing, in which the fingers and hands take the place of pen or brush. Paper is placed over a piece of Plexiglas to which paint has been applied. Wherever the paper is touched, an imprint is made. Impulses from within take form on paper through the movement of the fingertips on the page. This intuitive, meditative process moves us deeply into ourselves.
Artists of any level, including beginners, can experience inner authentic imagery coming alive on the page. Deborah Koff-Chapin, with whom the instructors have studied, developed touch Drawing. See www.touchdrawing.com for more information.
