Description

As artists, we all have pieces that never realized their full potential. Work, that for whatever reason, never felt finished and ends up in the “to do “pile. In this workshop, we will explore various approaches to resurrect old work that you feel is not successful and create new, exciting finished pieces. Possible

approaches include, but are not limited to painting over a part of an image, changing the orientation of the image, tearing the image for collage or combining multiple images in a new way. The introduction of

printmaking processes are another exciting way to develop a new image from a piece you feel is not complete. Imagine it, and you can do it: there are very few limitations! Every rejected image has its own unique journey to becoming a successful composition for each artist. It gives you a sense of freedom to experiment using a discarded piece and breathe new life into it. After all, working with a failed piece, the only way is up! Come with an open mind, ready for the challenge to make lemonade from lemons.

Give yourself permission to experiment and have fun! Great things can

happen!! All levels welcome.
