Relax. Receive. Create.
Take a restorative sound journey for the body, enter a quiet space for the mind, and accept the invitation to reconnect with the creative self with Stephanie Joyce. The certified yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and artist invites attendees to enter an immersive sound experience as she guides them to a place where creativity can flow naturally without judgement or expectation. Participants should bring their own yoga mats, blankets, and/or pillows for comfort as well as a sketchbook or notebook.
Beginning with a sound bath of resonant gong, Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, bells, chimes and other instruments from around the globe Stephanie creates an atmosphere of relaxation. From there participants will be guided to a more intuitive state before quietly transitioning to an opportunity to connect to their creativity.
There is no need to be an artist. The Focus is on process rather than product—allowing colors, shapes, words, textures, and ideas to emerge intuitively.

In this one-hour session, participants will be guided through the basic techniques of working with clay as they create their own unique pinch pots, personalized in the shape of their favorite animals. As pinch pots were one of the most basic forms of Native American ceramics, Valderrama will also discuss Native American culture, incorporating flute music and artwork samples inspired by his indigenous Taino roots.

Join second-generation bookbinder Hadley Vogel for an introductory workshop on the art and technique of Drum Leaf binding! Invented by Timothy Ely, the Drum Leaf binding is a beautiful and simple structure that allows you to create a book with minimal equipment, while its unique design allows the pages to lie flat and be fully displayed without interruption of stitching.
Under the guidance of Vogel, participants will have the unique opportunity to learn from a true master as they compose, develop, and bind a simple hardcover book of their own. Participants will learn about the anatomy of a book and how to utilize the array of tools and materials associated with bookbinding. Vogel will also delve into techniques for working with book cloth and rice paper, sharing valuable insights for their use.

Join Susan Bachemin, printmaker-in-residence, for a dynamic exploration of the figure through monotype printmaking. Working from a live model, participants will utilize techniques that are uniquely suited to the medium to explore gesture and line, as well as building the human form through light and dark shapes. Over the course of six hours, participants will develop their own interpretations of the figure through observation, and reach into the possibilities of the monotype process as ink comes to life on paper through the magic of the press. Participants will also learn basic press operation, printing their own works on our American French Tool and Conrad Machine etching presses.
Some knowledge of monotype printmaking is recommended but not required. All necessary tools and materials will be provided, and created works can be taken home at the conclusion of the workshop.
