Painting with Paper
A Celebration of Trees
with Ronni Jolles
In this Design & Wine workshop, artist Ronni Jolles will be teaching the technique she's developed over the past sixteen years that I call "Painting with Paper." In this adult workshop, she will teach the process of creating art with many different kinds of paper, gathered from all over the world. There will be a little drawing, but mostly ripping, cutting, and gluing paper. You will create a textural and beautiful paper painting that celebrates trees. No prior art experience necessary. Be prepared to have fun!
