Instructor: Amanda Crowe

Now offering this NEW one-time workshop in-person! Inspired by the architectural cities in the exhibit "Continued Continuing: Paintings by Amy Casey." If you're a fan of Minecraft, you already understand the concept of No Gravity ghost blocks and if you're into Fortnite, you get the seriousness of designing a sturdy structure, but this type of building strategy involves floating ink, buildings suspended in time, and miniature architectural materials (did someone say End Stone bricks?). This non-traditional paint-and-build class focuses on experimenting with the process of ink flow to create a backdrop for an imaginary city and its secret inhabitants.

*Cost includes all supplies.
