Join local artist Josie Whitmore-So for a Peg Doll (Kokeshi) Portrait Painting Workshop!
The workshop includes three hours of instruction and immediate feedback as you learn to create one-of-a-kind 3-D portraits of a chosen subject. Peg dolls make great personalized Valentines Day gifts, keepsakes, and even cake toppers. Paint your favorite person, character, or pet!
Workshop includes:
-one blank wooden peg doll (various shapes and sizes will be available).
-a wide selection of acrylic painting supplies to work with, including metallics and pastels.
-tips and tricks you can use to paint all sorts of 3-D surfaces as well as some great pointers for creating portraits in any medium.
-a full color printout and .pdf tutorial to reference at home.
Note: Class will include light refreshments and great company. Bring a picture of your subject or… better yet…bring them along for the fun! Each doll should only take about 1-1 ½ hours to paint so extra time has been allowed for chatting and snacking.
Register HERE.
$20 includes your first doll. $5 during class for every additional doll.
Partial refunds (50%) are available up to 2 days prior to the class (please contact Josie at josie.whitmore@gmail.com). Full refund is only available if you can find a replacement for your spot after that. Walk-ins are fine but supplies are limited so please let Josie know if there will be more members of your party.
