Burst & Bloom Studio 
Sip, Dip, and Draw Workshop

Saturday, February 9, 3:30 - 6pm or Thursday, February 14, 7 - 9:30 pm 

Sip, Drip and Draw Workshop is designed to invigorate passion and excitement to a level where these emotions can be used to forge your creative key. - Jacqulynn Mulyk

Drip, splash and brush on wine and coffee to create different staining effects.  Outline and accentuate the stains with drawing tools such as charcoal and pen.  Instruction, chocolate treats, wine, coffee, art tools and specialty papers will all be supplied.
 
In my art classes and workshops students often ask me, "What is the key to thinking more creatively?"  I answer them, "There are many keys, you have to find one that works for you."  What key will unlock your bravado, your ability to be daring, your desire to reach beyond the status-quo? What state-of-mind will help you to leave self-judgment behind and yet, still build on what has been learned in the past?  These are the questions a quest for creativity should answer.  
 
Please reserve your spot soon, space is limited.  The cost for the workshop is $60, all supplies and chocolate included!
