Intuitive Painting Weekend Workshop with Heather Gerni
Saturday & Sunday, July 23 & July 24| 10:30 am-4:30 pm
Eno Arts Mill Classroom
$175 per person

This weekend workshop provides a non-judgmental and playful space that encourages students to find their creative voice, have fun, and see what naturally unfolds on the canvas. The first half of the workshop is the “unlearning”. We experiment, play, and sling paint how we might imagine a child would. We create a chaotic layered mess on our canvas. The second half is simplifying the chaos to create a unified cohesive painting. This process helps with letting go of expectations, finding our inner child, and allowing our creativity and artistic style to unfold organically and authentically. No experience is necessary, and all skill levels are welcome.

Saturday & Sunday, July 23 & 24, 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM each day.

Supply list will be sent with confirmation email.

 

Writing Wednesdays : Writing the First Three Chapters of Your Novel with Shane Peterson
Wednesdays, September 28-November 30| 6:30-8:00 pm
Eno Arts Mill Classroom
$150 per person

Getting ready for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)?

Writing a novel can be so daunting; many aspiring authors get stuck at the beginning and stay there indefinitely. For this class, we will learn more about how to begin writing your novel by starting off on the right foot and maintaining the momentum needed to carry on until the end. We will discuss how to combat writer’s block, how to create an effective opening that lures readers in, how to “set the stage,” how to properly introduce a cast of characters, and how to establish the book’s main conflicts or themes that will keep your audience engaged. We will draft, workshop, and share each others’ work throughout this class in order to improve our writing. Any readings that I’ll assign will be provided for participants. All that is needed is something to write with (notebook or computer) and a willingness to learn more about the craft of novel writing.

Students will need a notebook and something to write with, or a laptop. And IDEAS!

ONGOING CLASSES

Sound in the Gallery (2nd Saturday of every month) with Jennifer Hansen of Ancient Song Therapy
2nd Saturdays, 9:30-10:30am
Eno Mill Gallery
$20 per person.

Join us for a unique sound experience at the Eno Arts Mill and Gallery the Second Saturday of each month. With each new exhibition of art in the gallery space, we will explore concepts that are shared between the mediums of visual art and sound. This event is all about contemplation as each of these arts effect us in a variety of ways. Please bring a yoga mat, cushion, and comfort items for extended shavasana. We will gather in the gallery space at 9:30 and have a few minutes to set up and view the art on exhibit. Attendees can choose one piece as a focus, or bring the effect of the overall show to their mats and into meditation. Sonic landscape will be provided by a variety of instruments– singing bowls, percussion, chimes, and vocals–highlighting the concepts of tone, color, frequency, and mood. There will be an opportunity for sharing and discussion before we end at 10:30. Space is limited to 8 attendees, and masks are required in the space at all times. To inquire, and to register, please email Jenn at liodhruna@gmail.com.
