SUMMARY:BASE: Open Art Workshop
DESCRIPTION:You Choose the Project · Use Tools and Supplies From BASE · Get Help When You Need It\n\n\n\nWant to learn to knit? Need to repair a mosaic? Want to try your hand at oil paints\, but don’t know where to start? There’s no need to sign up for a formal class or invest in lots of supplies just to give it a try\, because in this workshop\, you get to decide the project\, and you get access to all the tools and supplies in BASE (the Brushwood Art Supply Exchange). \n\n\n\nProjects can be big or small\, quick and easy or long-term and complex. You can work independently\, or work with an instructor who will help you get the supplies\, tools and knowledge you need to get started on the project of your choice. \n\n\n\nOpen Art Workshop is open to anyone who wants to make something in any area of visual arts and crafts\, from the experienced artist looking for a community of others to work with\, to the complete novice who just wants to try something out in a low pressure environment\, or the family looking for a fun kids’ activity to fill their afternoon – this workshop is for you! \n\n\n\nWHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? 10am-3pm\, the last Saturday of every month (no meetings in November and December 2024). Come anytime during the day\, and stay as long as you’d like. \n\n\n\nWHAT DOES IT COST? Workspace\, use of our tools and any instruction or assistance you need is free; supplies from BASE are “pay what you want” (free to teachers and organizations). \n\n\n\nWHAT CAN I MAKE? Almost* anything! Come with a project you want to work on in mind\, or pick one from our list of project ideas for all ages and abilities. You are welcome to bring your own supplies and tools\, or use ones from BASE. You can work independently\, or work with an instructor. Here are just a few ideas of what you can learn and do at the Open Art Workshop: \n\n\n\nWatercolor · Embroidery · Mosaics · Book Binding · Charcoal Drawing · Knitting & Crochet · Decoupage · Sewing & Mending · Jewelry Making · Plein Air Painting · Basket Weaving · Picture Framing · Card Making · Kids Art Projects · Block Printing · Stained Glass · Acrylic Painting · Costume Making · Weaving · Collage · UpCycling · Gift Wrapping · Sculpture · Upholstery · Colored Pencil · Wreath Making · Beading · Rubber Stamps · Oil Painting · Quilting · Pastels · Macramé · Miniatures \n\n\n\n*We will do our best to accommodate all types of projects\, but there may be limitations on what is possible on a particular day due to limitations of space\, supplies or tools (supplies and tools are mostly donated\, and what is available is always changing)\, or due to a particular project being too messy or dangerous to be done in a public space. If a particular project cannot be worked on during the Workshop that day\, we will do our best to help you figure out how to proceed on a future Workshop date or on your own. Since this Workshop is open to ALL topics and media\, we won’t be experts on everything\, but we can definitely help you get started. \n\n\n\nIf you have questions about Open Art Workshop or BASE\, please contact Julia Kemerer at 224-633-2426 or jkemerer@brushwoodcenter.org. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nREGISter

SUMMARY:BASE: Create & Sip - Broken Dish Mosaics
DESCRIPTION:BASE: Create & Sip – Broken Dish Mosaics \n\n\n\n​As you craft away\, enjoy the company of fellow art enthusiasts in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere while listening to a craft-themed musical soundtrack. Feel free to bring your favorite beverage (BYOB 21 and over)\, and some snacks to enjoy as you immerse yourself in the creative process. At the end of the class\, you’ll leave with your own handmade mosaic piece as well as the supplies and knowledge to complete the project with grout once it has a chance to dry and set (the next day is ideal). Plus\, you’ll take home newfound skills and inspiration to continue your crafting journey beyond the class! \n\n\n\nWe will be using materials and supplies from BASE (Brushwood Art Supply Exchange) that will include a mix of new materials alongside the repurposed and reimagined. We will have a variety of objects available to use for your mosaic project\, including flower pots\, trays\, and other vessels. We will have all the tools and supplies on hand\, but if you have a dish or other ceramic piece of your own you would like to bring and incorporate into your artwork\, you are welcome to bring it!  \n\n\n\nEveryone’s project will be unique\, and creativity is highly encouraged.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
