December, 2015- FAMILY HOMEMADE GIFT WORKSHOP
Make Your Own Cards & Calendars
West Palm Beach, FL December 14, 2015 – When it comes to gift giving people have all types of theories and self imposed rules. But many feel it really just comes down to is sharing your heart and expressing your love, bringing yourself and your giftee some joy at the same time.
What better way to do that then with a present you have made yourself. This Saturday December 19th from 9:00am-12:00 PM everyone in the family will have a chance to let their creative inner artist out. Come join in a fun Print Making “Relief” Workshop being held by local artist Kim Spivey at Resource Depot. Ms. Spivey will help participants create simple patterns using textured items from the Resource Depot warehouse to make relief prints. The final product could be used as a sheet of wrapping paper or unique wall calendar.
Bring the kids, grandparents and your neighbors, and enjoy some innovative reuse; no art experience necessary. This event is open to everyone with a suggested $5 donation per parent child combo.
This holiday themed “Relief” creative workshop will use soft foam from egg crates to help participants draw simple shapes into the surface and print them like a stamp. Also textured items from the warehouse will be set up for making rubbings. Together, adult and child can make holiday cards or calendars with the prints they create.
While you are at Resource Depot for you can venture into the new art gallery, which features Ms. Spivey’s art until January 6, 2016.
