Class Description:
Nothing means more to someone special than a present filled with thought and love. This year, instead of buying something, why not give a work of art that you made? Join a supportive community of artists at the Washington Printmakers Gallery and create a unique work of art in drawing, painting or printmaking just in time for the holidays.
In this 3-week workshop you will have the opportunity to create something totally new or finish up a previous project you have been working on. As the class concludes, you will receive a custom handmade frame, learn how to mount your artwork, wrap it, and turn it into a present in time for the holidays.
Please note:
Artwork must be under 20” x 26”. The price of the class reflects the cost of artwork framed with UV protective glass. The maximum dimension frame that glass is practical is 24” x 30”.
Maximum 2 frame max per student. Volume discount available for students making multiple frames.
