About this Event

The Montclair Art Museum (MAM) is offering three distinct workshops for Veterans taught by professional artists and art educators open to participants of all experience levels and abilities. MAM’s art program is a vibrant hub where artists come to share, explore, grow, and emerge transformed. All art materials are included.

Observe & Create Workshop - Let works of art spark your imagination. This program begins with an interactive gallery visit where you'll look closely at and discuss a work of art from the the museum's permanent collection or special exhibitions. Then, bring your own ideas to life in the studio by creating an art project inspired by the themes, materials, or stories you explored in the galleries.

Other workshops in this series:

September 12th (Saturday). 1:30 - 4:00pm. Exploring Printmaking - Program description coming soon.
September 13th (Sunday). 1:00 - 4:00pm. Ceramic Tile Making - Explore the creative possibilities of handmade ceramic tiles as works of art. You'll learn a variety of techniques for making clay tiles with patterns, textures, and personal imagery. Tiles may be flat, sculpted in relief, or anywhere in between. Through a thoughtful, unhurried process, you'll make a ceramic tile that reflects your individual ideas and artistic voice.
