**In-Person Workshop**

Instructor: Erica Beade

Price: $45 members / $55 nonmembers

Shells are endlessly fascinating, with an incredible variety of their forms, patterns, and colors, making them great subjects to draw. In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll look closely at museum specimens to explore techniques for capturing them with pencil and paper, focusing particularly on the three-dimensional “architecture” of the shell and using shading to capture volume and depth. Class size will be limited, allowing ample time for individual feedback.

All skill levels are welcome.

This class is for adults. Maximum class size is 12 attendees.
