In-Person Workshops
Come Make A Beautiful Mess With Us!
Join my mailing list to be notified of all my workshops as they become available.
The workshops I facilitate present participants with a dynamic combination of open-ended mini-projects, techniques and exercises. The goal is to take the mystery out of the vast array of gels, mediums and pastes and to help you find your own artistic style. Through understanding materials you’ll be in an environment where you can create varied, unique, beautiful pieces of art that reflect YOU, your preferences and your personal style.
All workshops feature instruction and handouts on professional grade GOLDEN Acrylic Paints and Mediums.
Two hybrid, online courses— Winter Wonderland and Creative Summer Camp— are also offered throughout the year that feature private, fun and supportive online communities. ONLINE Classes may be found HERE.
“Dar's workshops are a perfect blend of projects and artistic expression. She provides directions on how to make a specific project but also leaves plenty of room and permission to do your own thing. She is adept at creating a sense of playfulness and community from the first night that only deepens throughout the weekend. I would go to every one she hosts if I could!” ~ Debbie Ruisard
“Dar James is an amazing, good energy, generous teacher and I would highly recommend her workshops especially if you’re stuck, a beginner with acrylics or just need a working getaway.” ~Annelies van Dommelen
