Class | Available
Calling all artists, teachers, and environmentalists! Learn how to process your used acrylic paint water so that little or no plastic enters the groundwater. This professional development with artist Greta Bolger will help you reexamine your studio habits to make sure you are helping keep plastic and microplastic harm to a minimum. You’ll also learn how to create a long-lasting wet paint pallet for less than the commercial version and how to use your leftover paint to make one-of-a-kind collage papers. This workshop includes demonstrations.
All supplies included.
