Studio Nights

PAAM Studio Nights are a series of weeknight events in which participants come together to enjoy artmaking in PAAM’s studios, as well as the occasional artist talk or art history slide talk.

Each series features a local teaching artist who demonstrates a variety of techniques, with plenty of time after the demos for participants to create and share art. Participants may attend one event in the series, or all three.

With less of a time and monetary commitment than PAAM’s main adult education program, PAAM Studio Nights welcomes a broad range of year-round Cape residents and visitors alike.

SUMMER SESSION

Botanical Impressions: Fabrics to Monoprints with Milisa Moses

This Studio Nights series is full, please email Ruby if you’d like to be added to the waitlist: rubyt@paam.org

This three-part series in the PAAM print studio focuses on using plants as a medium for printmaking techniques on paper and fabric, utilizing science and nature to facilitate color, texture, pattern, and symmetry.

We’ll start with a short presentation on printing with botanicals and view works on both paper and fabric. We’ll then look at applying direct impressions of plants on fabric using simple chemistry and a variety of nature-printing methods, from ecoprinting to flower-pounding. After a demonstration of the application processes, you’ll be ready to create your own work.

For our second two studio nights, we’ll explore the materiality of flowers and leaves to create monoprints on paper using the printing press.

All materials provided, and all levels of experience welcome!

ABOUT THE TEACHING ARTIST

Milisa Moses is a gardener and artist living on the outer Cape. She works with plants, sun, and light to create art and art-making materials. Part alchemy, part accident, she uses these elements in an effort to pare down her practice to its essence.
