1.5 Hour Workshop

Date: Friday, March 22, 2024

Time: 9am-10:30am

Description: Mark making with both hands simultaneously engages the left and right sides of the brain, connects you to your body and natural rhythms and helps bring you into the present moment. In conjunction with the exhibition, Oneness: Brie Ruais, we will be meeting in the gallery to explore creativity through bi-lateral mark making, creating “body maps” and markings on paper on the floor. Please wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to stretch and move.

Tuition: $5 (non-refundable)

Location: Contemporary Craft (5645 Butler St., Pittsburgh, PA 15201)

Cancellations: Workshop cancellations are decided three business days before the start date. If workshops must be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, the entire class fee will be refunded through Eventbrite, or you may leave your workshop fee in your Contemporary Craft account for future workshops.

ALL WORKSHOP CANCELLATIONS ARE COMMUNICATED VIA EMAIL. We make every effort to notify students as soon as we know about any cancellations.

If you require accessibility accommodations, please let us know by calling 412.261.7003 and we are happy to assist you.
