An Advent Series

In the Chapel
Tuesdays, December 2, 9 & 16 | 7:00 PM

Join Artist in Residence, R. Scott Wright, for this unique workshop designed to bridge drawing and meditation - or put more simply, to embrace drawing as a form of meditation. Our goal is to use drawing tools and techniques to locate the sweet spot where keen observation and hand/eye coordination free the mind and calm the breath and the body. Drawing exercises will be demonstrated.

Students should bring whatever drawing tools, pads, etc. they are comfortable using. All ages and experience levels are welcome. $25/session, $65 for all three, or pay as you can by making a donation in Realm.
