A hands-on workshop for curious creatives and texture lovers!
Discover the striking art of scratch paper, a unique medium where images emerge by removing a dark surface layer to reveal the light beneath. Guided by local artist Adam Cooley, you’ll learn essential mark-making techniques like hatching, shading, and using negative space to bring contrast and drama to your designs.
After practicing the basics, you’ll create your own black-and-white artwork inspired by nature — think trees, animals, leaves, or any subject that sparks your imagination. Adam will offer one-on-one guidance as you explore your personal style through this satisfying, meditative process.
All materials are provided, and no experience is needed — just bring your curiosity and creativity!
This workshop will take place indoors at MAA Nixie to keep everyone warm and comfortable during the autumn season.
