SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Neurographic Art Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been postponed.  \nInstructor: Morgan Parr\nDate/Time: Saturday\, August 23\, 10am-noon\nCost: $20 child / $30 adult; plus $5 supply fee\nClass size: 4-25 participants\n(Register by August 19) \nYou don’t need to be an artist to explore neuroscience-inspired creativity! In this STEAM-based activity\, we’ll create Neurographic Art\, where art meets brain science. A neuron is a cell that transmits messages in your brain and body—and this relaxing drawing process is inspired by the organic structure of these neural pathways. \nThrough structured linework and spontaneous design\, participants explore the connection between neural activity and creative expression. This calming activity promotes emotional regulation\, cognitive flexibility\, and visual mindfulness. \nThe hands-on activity is family-friendly and suitable for ages 10 and above\, including adults! All supplies are provided\, but feel free to bring your own markers\, pens\, or watercolors to add a personal touch. \n  \n\nSTEAM-tastic @ DRA – Come join us at Del Ray Artisans for interactive classes about Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Arts and Math (STEAM)\, taught by professionals from each field! Geared toward youth\, each lesson has a short talk or demonstration and a hands-on craft project. Del Ray Artisans’ STEAM-tastic workshops are made possible with support from the City of Alexandria through the FY2026 Annual Arts Program Grant.\n \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

SUMMARY:Dime Store Alchemy: Make a Found Object Poetry Box (Register ASAP)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Viki Walchak\, vwalchak@yahoo.com\nDate/Time: Saturday\, August 23\, 6-8:30pm\nCost: $55 Del Ray Artisans member / $65 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee\nClass size: 6-12 participants\n(Register in advance; Walk-ins welcome\, space permitting) \nIn the spirit of Joseph Cornell\, a 20th century artist inspired by the poetry of found objects rearranged into evocative tableaus\, participants will craft small inventive shadow boxes. A variety of mixed media and assemblage techniques will be introduced. This will be an opportunity to creatively explore memories\, dreams and personal visions or give tribute to a friend or family member. It is a great way to practice intuitive art making skills and mine your personal and collective unconscious for insights and wisdom. \nParticipants will look at examples of Joseph Cornell’s assemblages and learn a bit about his motivations and techniques before crafting a shadowbox of their own design. Various mixed-media\, collage and assemblage techniques will be discussed and demonstrated. Materials\, wooden boxes and small hand tools will be provided\, but participants are invited to bring in small bits of ephemera from their personal spaces too. Old cards\, stamps\, small objects\, prints\, broken electronics and such can all be intriguingly arranged using this art-making approach. \nAll materials and tools will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to bring their own collection of small objects and ephemera too. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
