Mixed Media Art Workshop IN-PERSON AT DOROT

****Please note by registering, you do so for all two sessions. The dates for all two sessions are as follows:

Thursdays: October 23rd and 30th at 1:30pm - 3:00pm

Come join us for two weeks of Mixed Media Art Workshops with Aviva Slesin (painter, filmmaker).

Join us to create mixed-media collage using paints, crayons, markers, and colorful papers from magazines, wrapping paper, paint samples, and more.

You’re welcome to work abstractly from your imagination or bring a photo to use as inspiration. We’ll be working on two sheets of watercolor paper simultaneously, allowing you to build two collages side by side. Each workshop will focus on developing a strong structure and sense of direction—pieces can be completed in the first session or carried into the following week.

The process will be broken down into simple, clear steps, making this workshop open to all levels of experience. While a few basic communal supplies will be provided, we encourage you to bring your own collage materials, so you have exactly what you’d like to work with.

Our building is ADA accessible, and the auditorium is equipped with a hearing loop. Additionally, we have 4 assisted listening devices that can be borrowed for programs on a first-come first-served basis. Please reach out to dorotprograms@dorotusa.org with any accessibility questions or requests.
