It’s free to attend, and the mini-workshops are very reasonable. Also, I’ll be giving a lecture and demo of my process using Oil & Cold Wax Medium on Panel from 10:30 – 12:30. Tuition is $10 and space is limited.
If you’ve been thinking about taking my workshop in June at Oregon Society of Artists, this would be a great preview of the class.
