Art Escapes continue into March
Laguna Outreach for Community Arts continues its Art Escapes Monday workshop series into March with the teachings of Jacquie Moffett and Mada Leach.
On March 5 and 12, Moffett will teach a two-week outdoor watercolor painting class in the Aliso Creek Inn's canyon area; the first week will involve site sketching and planning a painting, and the second will develop the sketches into a watercolor under Moffett's instruction.
On March 19, Leach will lead a hands-on class in papermaking and casting papers into molds; students will take home both paper and casts.
The following week, she will demonstrate and lead a workshop in marbleizing and in creating paste papers for collage projects.
Classes are held at the Aliso Creek Inn, 31106 So. Coast Highway, from 9 a.m. to noon. There is a $35 per class fee, which includes materials; space is limited to 12 students per class.
Pre-registration is required to guarantee a space; call (949) 363-4700 for more information.
