Workshop for Adults

In this beginner-friendly workshop, we will make our own handmade paper from paper scraps. Techniques involved will include stencil-making, "drawing" with pulp, and embedding natural materials. We will also make our own 5x7" mold and deckles to take home. Students' handmade paper can be taken home right after the workshop. 

All materials provided by the Peoria Art Guild.

$50 Workshop

Come explore painting with a palette knife! We will start with simple landscapes and you will learn how to block in shapes and mix paint for that beautiful sky with maybe a few clouds. From distant mountains to foreground color will be the key. You can be as abstract (loose) as you feel comfortable or detailed (tight) if that is your style. No previous experience necessary and as easy as spreading butter.

Ages 16 and up

In this beginner-friendly workshop, we will create our own watercolor pigments from natural minerals using a 2-step process.

Students will use a mortar and pestle to grind the pigment, and a muller to bind the pigment. Afterwards, we will learn a handful of watercolor techniques, and create handmade cards.
