Create multi-layer mixed media art, exploring plant and mineral-based inks and tracing techniques, with guidance from Isabelle. This workshop will provide participants with unique options to personalise their artwork, with opportunities for integrating traced images (old photos, illustrations from books, etc.) with personal significance, into the art practice.

This workshop is French-English bilingual, which means that if you speak one or both languages, you’ll have no trouble participating! The mixed-media workshop is open to anyone ages 9+, and is beginner-friendly.

By oscillating between the two, Michaud creates dynamic works that sit at the intersection of the tangible and the ethereal.
