New Summer Workshop
Fathers (and Daughters) Day at MerArt Studio
Are you close to your father? Do you wish you were closer? Do you both enjoy creative activities, or working with your hands? Many women find they have been powerfully affected by their relationship with their fathers. Now you have an opportunity to explore this mysterious, formative, sometimes challenging relationship while creating unique and beautiful art, either individually or jointly. Using Mixed-Media Collage, we explore creativity and relationships with a special emphasis on fathers and daughters, June 18 and 19, 2011, at Meredith's studio in Portland, OR.
