The word "epiphany" comes from the Greek word epiphainen, which means "to reveal," "appear," or "make known.” In this still-life drawing workshop, participants are inspired to embrace a fresh perspective and encouraged to step outside their comfort zones and approach the creative process as though experiencing it for the very first time.

For this workshop, participants are invited to bring an object of their choice, ranging in size from a pinky finger to the length of an arm. Together, we’ll arrange these objects into a shared still-life composition, using the opportunity to introduce ourselves and the stories behind our chosen items. Participants are welcome to bring their own supplies, but plenty of materials will be on site as well.
