Often Laura’s classes are PROCESS oriented where we experiment with all kinds of methods and materials. While there will still be plenty of experimentation, this mixed media class is PROJECT specific.
In this full day workshop, we will create two works of art, alternating between each piece.
We will start with exercises to tap into our inner voices, words we hold inside but don’t say out loud. These don’t have to be deep dark secrets (though they can be - no judging here!). We will work with various writing prompts to generate thoughts and words that are expressive and can be joyful, tender, hopeful, frustrated, nurturing, declarative, sad or comical. For example, we might want to ask the universe for something, or develop a daily mantra for ourselves.
Next, using paint and drawing tools, we will created layered images that are filled with our expressive declarations/poems/confessionals/requests.
This is an adult class for all levels of creatives. Making art using meaningful words is a way to deeply realize the power of language and its influence on our realities. I hope you will join me for the special workshop!
Included in the registration fee is a $25 material fee. Laura will provide scissors, pencils, paint brushes and rollers, paint, watercolor paper, etc.
PLEASE NOTE:
*If the class minimum is not met by one week before workshop, all enrolled students will be notified and provided with a full refund.
*A full refund is provided for cancellations made a minimum of 9 days before each workshop IF we are able to fill your spot. If the class fills, wait list registration will be available on the website.
*If you register for more than one person, please complete separate registrations so Laura has the name and contact info for each student.

Just in time to join Laura Raborn and create a special gift this holiday season!
In this one-day workshop, we will use personal images as inspiration to create a meaningful piece of art. Students will print and bring 2-3 photos of things/people/places that they want to use in a multi-layered painting on high quality paper. Laura will discuss goals with each student to help determine which photo will work best for the workshop project. The paintings will be standard size to pop into a frame if you decide to give your keepsake artwork as a special holiday gift.
The methods we will practice include building abstract paint layers to create a mood or atmosphere as a “base” for loose drawings using our photos. We will practice the drawings with various tools such as pencil, charcoal, ink, paint, and pens. This is an opportunity to experiment with how different drawing materials change the overall impression and message in your artwork.
This is an adult class for all levels...from those who say “I can’t draw a stick figure” to the seasoned artist. Included in the price is a $25 material fee (INCLUDING A HAPPY HOUR BEVERAGE!). Laura will provide charcoal, colored pencils, ink, sandpaper, brushes, paper, paint palettes, paint, etc.
*If the class minimum is not met by one week before workshop, all enrolled students will be notified and provided with a full refund.
*A full refund is provided for cancellations made a minimum of 9 days before each workshop IF we are able to fill your spot. If the class fills, wait list registration will be available on the website.

Join Laura Raborn for Telling a Story with Collage
$115.00 (price includes $25 material fee)
Just in time to create a special gift this holiday season!
Get your scissors and glue ready! In this one-day immersion we will learn how to tell a story using photocopies, receipts, maps, newspaper clippings, magazine images, and anything you can cut out and glue down into your two-dimensional work surface. The goal is to create a special collage on a wood panel that includes a small sketch based on one of your memories. We will play with how collage materials combine with your sketch to develop meaning and narrative. This is a great opportunity to create a special gift this holiday season.
Explore how content and meaning change as you shift and play with color, scale, texture and subject matter. We will discuss positive and negative imagery, contrast, surface, focal point, and composition as each specifically relates to collage.
This is an adult class for all levels. Included in the registration fee is a $25 material fee. Laura will provide old papers, music sheets, book pages, newspapers, glue, paint brushes, water containers, paper towels, acrylic paint, and wood panels.
*If the class minimum is not met by one week before workshop, all enrolled students will be notified and provided with a full refund.

Get your scissors and glue ready…REGISTRATION OPENS SOON for this action packed class! In this one-day immersion we will learn how to tell a story using personal photos, photocopies, receipts, tickets, maps, newspaper clippings, magazine images, text, and anything that you can cut out and glue down into your two-dimensional work surface. Explore how content and meaning change as you shift and play with color, scale, texture and subject matter.
We will discuss positive and negative imagery, contrast, surface, focal point, and composition as each specifically relates to collage. The best way to maximize your time in this class is by bringing with you several items that are cut out and ready to use. You can also bring old drawings to recycle in new work, along with photocopies of favorite words and photos. All levels welcome.
The focus of this workshop is to use drawings of the human face in playful projects. While we will address anatomical exercises and tips, we will not focus the entire time on strict drawing lessons. Instead, we will discover the joy of drawing loosely to create alluring and joyful pieces of art.
We start with a crowd favorite: blind contour drawings that quiet our inner critic and liven up the room. Then we will practice drawing techniques (and some tricks!). We will create two loose portraits using various materials - such as drawing the face full of wild loose lines on top of an ethereal layer of paint washes. Remember, our drawing does not need to be perfectly real or accurately rendered to be exciting and provocative. This class is for all levels…from those who say “I can’t draw a stick figure” to the seasoned artist.
Join Ms. Kristin in the studio creating fabulous fascinators fit for a queen or Derby Day! We will make beautiful hats along with large crepe paper flowers— hey spring! Then it’s pinkies up! We’ll don our fascinators and have a tea party! Please pass the petit fours!
