WENATCHEE — The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center, in collaboration with NCW Arts Alliance, has announced a new summer art workshop series featuring regional artists and educators, set to commence in August.
The series, designed for participants aged 16 and above of all skill levels, will offer a diverse range of creative experiences, including Japanese calligraphy, paper crafting, and painting techniques.
The series kicks off on August 10 with a pet portrait workshop led by artist Sunny Hemphill. Participants will employ paint-scraping techniques and markers to create colorful representations of their pets.
The following week, on August 17, Wenatchee Valley College professor Junko Bailey will conduct a Japanese calligraphy workshop. Bailey, who holds a second-degree master's certification in the art form, will introduce students to the fundamental brush techniques and traditions of Shodo.
On August 24, Cashmere-based artist Rhia Foster will guide attendees through a cardmaking and papercraft art workshop, focusing on creating layered textures and 3D cards.
The series concludes on August 31 with a stencil painting workshop led by Wenatchee artist Lindsay Breidenthal. Participants will learn to create depth in their paintings and produce small art pieces such as bookmarks and postcards.
Museum officials have announced a 10% discount for patrons registering for three or more classes. The series is sponsored by the Wenatchee Art Education Consortium.
