SUMMARY:love in action: Community Card & Letter Writing Circle (Register by 8/6)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dimple Dhabalia\nDate/Time: Sunday\, August 9\, 10am – Noon\nCost: free; donations appreciated\nClass size: 3-16 participants\n(Register before midnight on August 6) \nWe were never meant to navigate the seasons of life alone. \nJoin Dimple Dhabalia\, writer\, author\, and founder of love in action empathy cards for a two-hour\, in-person community gathering — a small\, intentional space to slow down\, drop in\, and write to the people in our lives. \nRitual is how humans have always marked time. The crossing of a threshold. The arrival of grief\, or joy\, or wonder\, or rest. \nIn a world where loneliness has become an epidemic and speed has been prioritized over intimacy\, we don’t need more efficiency in how we care for each other. We need more ritual. Writing to someone by hand is a ritual of return. Sealing an envelope is a ritual of commitment. Sending a card when there is no occasion except the memory of someone’s loss\, or a desire to honor their joy. \nEach session opens with a brief grounding practice. We write together\, and those who wish to share are invited to—though sharing is always optional. This is not a writing workshop. It is a guided space for presence\, reflection\, and connection. Bring your own cards or purchase a set at the gathering. You don’t need to be a writer. You don’t need to prepare. You will never be required to share. \nAll are welcome. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Playing with Resin Workshop (Register ASAP)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Tracy Wilkerson\, recycledworks@yahoo.com\nDate/Time: Monday\, August 10\, 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee\nClass size: 6-12 participants\n(Register in advance to guarantee a spot; walk-ins welcome\, space permitting.) \nLearn the ins and outs of prepping for and mixing resin\, and how to use it as an adhesive\, a covering\, or the main medium. There’s lots of creative time during this 3-hour workshop… No need to rush\, which is one of the first lessons in using resin! All supplies are provided\, but feel free to bring personal embellishments for your piece(s). \nThis workshop does not get into using dyes with resin or building big molds to create one-of-a-kind resined tables (as seen on YouTube)\, but this workshop will provide you with a good understanding of how resin works so you can be bold enough to take the next steps in your creative interests. \nAlthough the class is listed for 3 hours\, you can leave once you have finished your creations. Some students finish very quickly while others take the whole 3 hours to create – there is plenty of time for each person to enjoy the creative process while not feeling rushed. You’ll leave your finished masterpiece(s) to set at the gallery at the end of the workshop\, and pick them up during gallery hours later in the week. \nThe workshop is designed for adults. Children ages 16-17 may participate with parental permission. Children ages 12-15 may participate only with a co-participating adult guardian (guardian must contact instructor in advance). \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

SUMMARY:Life Drawing – Gesture and Short Poses Session
DESCRIPTION:Drop-in and practice figure drawing on select Tuesday and Thursday evenings each month. Bring your supplies and join us at the gallery to draw or paint our nude model. \nTraditional drawing media (such as pencils\, pens\, and charcoal) are welcome; and pastels\, watercolor and ink are permissible. Please do not bring acrylics or oil paints. We don’t supply easels – only plenty of chairs – but you are welcome to bring your own easel if you want to use one. All skill levels are welcome. \nThe first part of this session will be focused on gesture poses (dynamic 1-5 minute poses) to loosen up and participate in a fun\, fast-paced drawing experience. The second hour will be a few short poses for more detailed drawings leading up to up to two 20-minute poses. \nFee for each session is $10 for Del Ray Artisans members and $15 for non-members.  If you have any questions or would like to participate as a model for our sessions\, please contact LifeDrawing@DelRayArtisans.org. \nView artwork from past DRA Figure Drawing Sessions on Instagram!

SUMMARY:Nature Journaling Club
DESCRIPTION:Practiced by artists and naturalists alike\, nature journaling is a centuries-old exercise in refining our powers of observation\, appreciation for nature\, drawing skills\, and mindful presence. This group is open to all experience levels as we meet to sketch\, connect\, and learn together! \nDel Ray Artisans’ Nature Journaling Club meets at 10am in front of Del Ray Artisans on the final Saturday morning of the month (except not in July\, November\, and December). Mark your calendar or set a reminder in Eventbrite. \nParticipants will need to bring their own sketchbooks and supplies. We will have plenty of time for sketching in nature before gathering again at 11:30am to share our sketches and observations and discuss tips and tools for nature journaling in the wild. We hope you will join us as we strengthen our art and inquiry practice together! \nSuggested supplies: sketchbook\, pens\, pencils\, colored pencils\, watercolor pencils\, or other portable media\, and a water bottle since we will be outdoors. You may also want to bring something to sit on (folding chair or blanket). \nNOTE: This program is held outdoors and will be canceled if raining. \nThis program is FREE! Donations to our nonprofit arts organization are appreciated. \nFor more information\, contact the coordinators: Stephanie Darlene Greenwald (stephanie@stephaniedarlene.com) and Meredith D’Amore (meredith.w.damore@gmail.com). \nRSVP (Optional) | View Upcoming Dates \n\nArtwork credit: Drawing by Meredith D’Amore
