Working (Playing) Retreat

Writers and illustrators need time and space to accomplish their goals, and to explore art for the pure fun of creativity! Join me and fellow author/illustrator Denise Fleming, along with special guests Merrill Rainey and Rofa Shuhratzoda to create and connect during a working retreat just for writers and illustrators.

The Working (Playing) Retreat will include demonstrations and hands-on activities, shared studio and writing time and independent time to write, illustrate, draft, revise, and discuss your work.

A unique location for a creative getaway. The retreat will be held at the Highlights Foundation Retreat conference center campus, the former home of the founders of Highlights for Children® in the wooded hills of the Pennsylvania Poconos.

Kitchen Table Printmaking

Linoleum blockprinting without a press. In this 6-session online workshop you’ll learn my favorite blockprinting techniques for art prints, greeting cards, textiles, and more using just a few simple tools — and without a printing press.

Blockprints have been a popular illustration medium since the first woodblock-printed bestsellers were mass-produced in the 15th century. Now, modern lightweight, affordable linoleum blocks and sheets have made sophisticated blockprinting possible without a lot of specialized tools or training.

Come explore the blockprinting universe. Class projects may include a repeat pattern, greeting card, a bookplate with lettering, a self-portrait or pet portrait or a white line still life. As a final project, we’ll create a print using my favorite key-block technique, combining a linoleum print with watercolor to make a full-color, repeatable artwork.

6 Sessions | Alternate Tuesdays, March 26 – June 4, 5pm – 7pm EST
