Overture Center) with Brenda giving a 20 minute guided tour of her recent work. After the talk we’ll walk over to MCM, where Brenda will demonstrate art making techniques that incorporate layering and scraping to create textured drawings and paintings. After the demonstration, families will be invited to create their own layered works of art to take home. The cost of the workshop is $5.00 per child/plus admission to the museum for families (if not already members).
