Warli is a tribal art style from the state of Maharashtra in India. It is a monochromatic and minimalistic, yet a very expressive style that has found universal acclaim. The class will delve into the background of the tribe and learn basic motifs. We will discuss art compositions and each participant will create their own art story visually. No previous art experience is required. We will start drawing on white paper with black pen and then move to painting on a dark background with white paint (if time allows).
A supply package can be purchased for a $10 fee or purchased by the student. The supply list and directions to the Eno Mill will be emailed to you after you purchase the class.

Roughly two hours will be devoted to students making their own chimes! We will spend the first 30 minutes & last 30 minutes of this workshop doing listening exercises to concentrate our awareness on the conceptual meaning of the sound of these objects, in conversation with the wind, birds, and whatever else is sounding near the Mill. Because reuse is an important element of the workshop, students would be encouraged to bring supplies for instrument making. Ideas for chimes: scraps of wood, dowels, ceramic shards, beads, various brass and copper cups and pipes, and whatever else seems to have potential for exploration. The artist will also have some additional objects available for exploration. The artist will supply pairs of scissors and/or wire cutters, a roll of fishing line, and several yards of rope for construction.
Student materials List:
- 5-10 objects gathered from around your house, yard, sidewalks, that have the potential for sound (or not). Think scraps of wood, rocks ceramic pieces, beads, brass and copper cups and/or pipes, and whatever else seems to have potential for exploration

- A pair of scissors.
