Artist Shanna Steals will offer a workshop entitled "Introduction to Sculptural Painting and Mixed Media - Protecting the Environment and its Natural Resources". In this workshop, participants will learn how to create a painted work with found and recycled objects to create a work that will focus on the conservation of the planet and its natural resources. They will learn how to incorporate objects from the recycling bin and found objects from nature to create a sculptural painting. **This workshop has a limit of participants (Registration link below)**
