Alternative Methods for Drawing Workshop

May 30 and 31, 2026

Saturday and Sunday, 2 days

1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Instructor: Dr. Michael Faris

In this two day workshop, students of all skill levels will be experimenting with a variety of methods in applying charcoal and liquid graphite in abstract and nonobjective ways to create unique stained surfaces, called “decalomania.” On day one, students will apply the liquid graphite using waxed paper, Saran wrap, and brushes. On day two, after the drying time, students will transform their creations from day one into abstract or nonobjective drawings to create finished pieces.

Supplies are included in the cost of the workshop.

Members $85 | Non-Members $125
