Hand Painted Cloth Napkins

Wednesday, March 12, 6-9pm

Class level: All experience levels welcome

Age requirements: 18 and older

Teaching artist: Bernie Witzack of bernie & zuzu (@bernieandzuzu)

Class fee: $125 (includes materials fee)

Create your own colorful hand painted cloth napkins! We will take inspiration from Abstract Expressionism, Finnish textile design and the botanical world. Using textile paint, we will use brushes or stencils to paint directly onto the cloth. You will leave the workshop with a set of four colorful cloth napkins featuring your own unique designs! All of Bernie’s workshops focus on creativity, community, process over product, and learning over perfection.

What to bring:

Wear clothes you wouldn’t mind getting paint on, bring an apron if you have one, and rubber gloves if you prefer not getting paint on your hands. All other supplies are provided.
