A Taste of Art: Expressive Mark Making with Kate Shaffer

12 -2 pm on Sunday, August 2, 2026.

Free to attend, registration required.

Dancing with Your Pencil is a playful, exploratory workshop designed to help you discover your own unique mark-making style. Through guided exercises and creative experimentation, you’ll learn to loosen up, trust your instincts, and let your hand move with rhythm and confidence across the page. While the pencil is our starting partner, we’ll explore a range of dry media to expand your expressive possibilities — from subtle textures to bold, dynamic gestures. This workshop celebrates process over perfection, curiosity over control, and the joy of finding marks that feel authentically yours. Cookies and tea will be provided.
