Painting of spiderwebs

In-Person Workshop

$45 members / $55 nonmembers

As intricate and delicate structures, spiderwebs are visually fascinating subjects for art. In this workshop, we will explore an unconventional approach to capturing webs using acrylic scratch paint. Participants will learn how to prepare DIY scratch paint, test different scratch tools, and make their own web illustration. This class will emphasize the fun of artistic exploration and experimentation, include tips and advice for best results, all while appreciating the beauty of spiderwebs. The group will be limited to 12 participants, allowing ample time for individual feedback.

All skill levels are welcome.

Taught by teaching artist and science writer, Rachel Mirus.

Price includes a $5 materials fee.
