ArtMakers
Cynthia Winton-Henry and
Phil Porter
Oakland, CA
8 week class Tuesdays · 6:45-9:00 pm · Feb 21, 28, Mar 7, 14, 21, 28, Apr 4, 11
New Form! Both Cynthia and Phil are committed visual art makers. These evenings will create space for all of us-writers, artists, and doodlers-to gather. Come do the InterPlay warm up, move, and then Phil will offer some simple lessons on art and design. Then spend some time doing your own art-making. Bring your own projects or use some of the materials at hand. If you work best in the presence of others, this is a great place to hang out, feed your artist-self, and let your maker out to play. Drop-ins welcome.
Cost: $10-$20 per class sliding scale (modest materials fee if you use our stuff!)
Registration/Information: 510/465-2797
