Illustrate a Fall Leaf in Colored Pencils
Celebrate Halloween—and the golden colors of fall—at Hoyt Arboretum! In this colorful nature-inspired workshop, we’ll explore the many shades of orange found in autumn leaves using colored pencils. Learn simple techniques for layering, blending, shading, and building rich color. Beginners welcome!
Ink Alchemy: Making Handmade Ink from Walnut Hulls
Transform foraged walnut hulls into rich, chocolate-brown handmade ink! In this fun and messy workshop, you’ll learn the basics of natural ink-making and leave with your own bottle of walnut ink for drawing, lettering, painting, and creative experiments.
Imagine 2027: Creative Planning Through Mixed-Media Art
Imagine what you want to create, cultivate, and move toward in 2027. Through guided visioning and mixed-media art, you’ll clarify your ideas and create a meaningful visual composition using images, words, color, found objects, and ephemera.
Color Theory for Creative Practice
Color can completely change the mood, meaning, and feeling of a piece of art. In this full-day workshop, you’ll learn approachable, practical color theory tools you can bring into your own creative practice.
Together, we’ll explore the color wheel, warm and cool colors, value, tint, shade, color harmonies, and color mixing. You’ll leave with hand-painted color studies for future reference and a clearer sense of how to choose and use color with confidence.
Open to all skill levels and useful for artists working in any medium.

Feeling creative… but not totally sure where to start?
You’re not alone. So many adults crave a creative practice — they just need the right guidance, structure, and invitation.

Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or returning after a long break, my classes are designed to help you build skills and confidence — without losing the joy.
