Late Spring at the County Arts Lab

There are a few workshops left in the Early Spring session at the County Arts Lab and registration is now open for the Late Spring session! Learn new skills with both local and visiting artists who excel at their craft.

This session’s multi-week courses include courses that are appropriate for all skill levels! On Tuesday mornings we welcome Jennifer Higgs for a five week Paper Pop-Up Books course. In the afternoon, breathe new life into your nonfiction writing with Allison Nichol Longtin in Writing Life into Being. Develop storytelling skills through a blend of creative writing and visual art-making with Kamee Abrahamian in Visionary Futures on Wednesday evenings. And Megan Fitzgerald is back with another amazing painting course, Expressive Still Life Florals, on Friday evenings.

Julie Seddon returns for our Saturday morning Kids’ Creation Club! Kids will turn simple ideas into awesome art and become curators in a pop up gallery to exhibit their creations!

We have an inspiring selection of workshops with Megan Fitzgerald returning to teach composition and design in Mixed Media Collage. Lucy Sterezylo is back with another lo-fi printmaking course in Lego Relief Printing for adults. Discover innovative ways to use text and book forms with Hannah Strauss in a Text & Form: Experimental Bookmaking workshop. Explore drawing and painting a bold, expressive portrait from a life model with Bogdan Luca. Plus, join the Procreate Workshop with Irene Götz at a new time and date!

And back by popular demand, Making Windows Bird-Safe with Iris Häussler and Victoria Taylor returns in May in partnership with the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory Spring Birding Festival. Sign up today and learn something new! And remember – you can give the gift of creativity with a County Arts Lab gift certificate!
