Workshop Description

Open Studio

This Open Studio is an opportunity for teachers to spend time with their own creative projects and inquiries to enrich their teaching practices. Basic artmaking tools and materials for drawing, painting, and printmaking will be available for participant use, however if you need special media for your practice you can bring your own (school safe) gear. This is a self-directed learning space with workshop leaders acting as guides and supports.
