The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center and NCW Arts Alliance invites you to this collaborative workshop series featuring regional artists and educators.
Try your hand at a variety of creative mediums this summer, delving into the art of Japanese calligraphy, paper crafting, and painting. These courses are for ages 16+ and are great for all skill levels – beginners welcome!

Pet Portraits Workshop

Saturday, August 10, 1-3 PM

Learn alongside the multi-talented Sunny Hemphill in this beginner-friendly class. Students will use an easy paint scraping technique and paint markers to create a colorful portrait of your pet. This will be a fun and relaxing project for beginners and more experienced artists alike!

Japanese Calligraphy Workshop

Saturday, August 17, 1-3 PM

Learn the art of Shodo 書道, or Japanese calligraphy, with Wenatchee Valley College professor Junko Bailey. Bailey has been working with sumi ink since the age of 6, eventually obtaining her second-degree master’s certification in Japanese calligraphy. Through this workshop, students will explore fundamental brush techniques and gain appreciation for the aesthetic and traditions of Shodo.

Cardmaking and Papercraft Art Workshop

Saturday, August 24, 1-3 PM

Play with paper alongside Cashmere-based artist Rhia Foster! Explore the textures and images you can create layering paper and color. Learn to transfer images onto plexiglass for original 3D cards and ornaments. Create original cards to keep and gift – no drawing or writing experience needed. This class is hands-on and a great way to relieve stress and create unique works of art without pressure.
