Create the future city of your dreams! Absolutely no experience necessary for this mixed-media workshop led by artist, Steph Joy Hogan. Steph will offer structured guidance as you create whimsical layered cityscapes with cut and torn paper and a variety of drawing tools. Using found papers (like junk mail, maps, book pages), you’ll reduce waste while envisioning your ideal city. You’ll leave with a completely original mixed-media painting that’s ready to frame! This is a stand-alone workshop that will leave you eager for more! If you’d like to keep playing, register for Steph’s series of three workshops (October 14, November 4, December 9) where you will build on the techniques learned and the materials you create. Steph Joy Hogan is an award-winning mixed-media painter from Lansing, Michigan. She was voted Top Artist in the 2021 Lansing City Pulse Top of the Town contest (Top 3 in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022) and her recognizably vibrant and whimsical artwork can be found in galleries and exhibitions throughout Mid-Michigan. Her work has been featured on two billboards and a bus stop, and her commissioned mixed-media paintings can be found permanently installed in Impression 5 Science Center, the Susan and Jack Davis Nature Pavilion and Gallery at Fenner Nature Center, and the beautiful new headquarters of The Davies Project.
