About The Workshops

Yoga for Beginners
To start the day, we are stretching, breathing, and learning some basic yoga postures that channel energy and open up your senses. Cindy Lewis is a RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher). When asked about yoga, she said, “yoga is my passion and sharing it with the community is a joy. I began my yoga journey in the 80′s. My classes are full of humor, inspiration and play.” You can find Cindy Lewis on facebook at Yoga with Cindy web site: http://www.myyogaspring.com/     Blog: http://myyogaspring.blogspot.com/
Presenters: Cindy Lewis

Laika Career Retrospective and Master Class
Are you fascinated with Laika? Are you curious about what goes in to each animated piece? What the process is from start to finish? This is a Q&A Session with Laika production managers who can tell you all about the artistic process, story-boards, and directive elements of Laika films.
Presenters: surprise!

Art(s)cool PDX Workshops:
Recycled Book/Journal Making. Learn the art of making several types of hand bound books. Use found objects, recycled materials, and more to customize your books. Bring personal items like photos, ticket stubs, maps and other scrap booking items to personalize your book.

Found Object Printmaking. Printmaking is easy when you find interesting shapes, patterns and textures in found objects. Use your custom made papers to decorate and personalize your books.

Weaving. Use the art of weaving to create and decorate! Make coasters, book covers, earrings and coffee cozies using new weaving techniques.

Postcard Project. Grab a blank post card and address it to yourself or someone you know then drop it in our box of addressed postcards. Select a postcard addressed to a stranger from the box and decorate it using various materials, found object printmaking or with your new weaving skills in the art room. Each postcard is already posted and will be mailed out over the next year as part of our postcard project. Some day, when you least expect it, your postcard will arrive decorated by an unknown artist just ready to brighten your day.
presenter: Dianna Fontes

Poetry Composition
This composition workshop will be a free write and critical response session wherein you are encouraged to bring something you are working on, or something freshly started. There are no rules here, no boundaries to the breath or scope of language, only thoughtful reactions and receptive listeners.
Presented by: Tai Carmen

 

Sugar Crafts
