Join us for a process-based class exploring abstraction through improvisational drawing. This class is perfect for both beginning and more advanced students.

Students will be guided through a series of group and individualized prompts focused on abstraction. Students will leave the class with a series of experiments and directions to build upon in their own creative practice.
