Wonky Grids Workshop

My Wonky Grids workshop at AVA Gallery is now open for registration.  It's a light hearted, playful approach to abstract composition with paint and collage.  Register here.

Supply List

• Brayer: soft rubber, 2” or 3”
• Spray bottle for water
• Big roll of absorbent paper towels

$5 Materials fee includes:

I highly recommend that you order your supplies online well before the workshop.  The local art supply store does not carry many of the items on this list.
