UPCOMING PAC WORKSHOPS

Have Fun With Collage at PAC!

This is not a formal teaching workshop but, rather, a chance to explore working with paper and other materials to create a new work of art. Materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring in things they'd like to work with. If you have tools you prefer to use (such as Exacto knives, cutting boards, scissors, glue, etc), do bring them with you. The workshop is free and open to members and non-members, but a $5 donation towards materials would be greatly appreciated. Life Drawing Sessions at PAC
