| Cultivating “aloha” through the creation of handmade cards!Did you know that aloha is a way of “being” that taps into living a fulfilling life? This encompasses traditional Hawaiian values of kindness, unity (collectiveness), pleasantness, humility, modesty, patience and perseverance. My interpretation of aloha is to cultivate kindness and foster connections through handmade cards and handwritten notes! Did you know that engagement with the arts contributes to “the growth of mind” (so you think better), decreases stress (so you feel better)? This is also part of “aloha” as living in harmony is part of mental and physical well-being. Exploration of how creation and handwriting contribute to overall wellness will be embedded in the activity part of the workshop! Experiment with a “scrapbook” and “collage” approach to making unique cards that help you connect to and share aspects of “the aloha spirit”. Participants will receive a themed curated “do it yourself” card making kit to take home and one to make during the session! Presenter: Jeanne Florini Jeanne’s Ohana Designs Fee: $20.00 per person (paid to the instructor in class) Class Limit :20 To register, email the instructor directly at [email protected]. Pre-registration is required. |

| Urban Sketching!Gain confidence in documenting your observations through on-the-go sketching in your notebook. While photos can be great, nothing captures the essence of a place like a hand-drawn sketch. This beginner's class focuses on the essential tools, observation skills, composition tips, and basic techniques to give you the confidence to sketch what you see. You’ll meet-up with your instructor, Mark, where he'll do a brief discussion on tools, strategies, tips, and techniques before embarking on a guided sketching journey. Ten years ago, Mark reignited his artistic passion as a means of managing daily stress. After experimenting with various art forms, he found his true calling in the form of urban sketching. An astute observer, urban sketching came naturally to him and he was immediately drawn in by the sense of freedom it offered. Since then, he has cultivated a strong personal practice, always carrying sketching essentials to document everyday experiences and grand adventures alike. Please bring the following materials- keep in mind we're traveling lightly! • Pencil for sketching with eraser preferably on the H or hard scale like a 4H, but any pencil will do) • A Waterproof pen (micron as an example) • A couple of small paint brushes – cheap is fine. Water brush is preferred. A small water jar or two (ex: baby-food size) • Your favorite small-ish sketchbook (preferably smaller than 8.5 x 11) • Colorado clothing: hat, sunscreen, and water bottle • Optional:Color!Small, portable watercolor palette, markers,crayons, orwatercolor pencils • Optional:A small camping chair or stool for sitting Fee: $50.00 per person Class Limit :20 BIO Mark Nassi is an avid urban sketcher who enjoys sharing this accessible art form with others of all ages and skill-levels. He helps coordinate urban sketching events throughout the Denver metro area and has taught urban sketching at the Colorado Pen Show and Two Hands Paperie. In a world heavily structured by rules- especially in his work as an accountant and software developer- having a creative outlet that is both portable and memory-building is such a joy. He now shares that joy with others by teaching various urban sketching techniques with an emphasis on how to adapt them to each person’s unique style, available tools, and setting.
