Ornament Mini-Painting Workshop (12/6)

***Must have taken Introduction to Pastel Painting Workshop or have experience with pastels***
Mini-Painting Ornament Workshop
Class Description
Imagine creating something that you will get to enjoy again and again as you decorate your tree each year for the holiday season! Or imagine making someone a unique gift that they will get to unwrap every Christmas! In this workshop, you will make just that by creating a mini-painting ornament. We will finish them under museum glass in silver ornament frames. The class fee includes one ornament, paper, glass, and acid free backer. Students may choose to purchase additional ornament frame sets for $12 each. While there will be some photo references available, please consider bringing your own reference photos for the painting(s). The finished pieces will be a square format and measure 3” x 3.”
