Upcoming Children's Art Classes:
• CHILDREN’S
ART WINTER WORKSHOP | Sat., Dec 10 | 12-3 pm
Class Description:
Elizabeth Roberts has created a one-day workshop for 10-13 year olds to
learn about textile arts by creating your own woven coil pot.
Many cultures around the word have been making coil baskets for
centuries for functional and decorative use. In this 3-hour workshop
the students will use yarns and fabrics to create coils woven together
to make a finished three-dimensional object that they can take home at
the end of the day. These colorful handmade coil pots will make a
terrific holiday gift for the student-artist to give!
The tuition fee is $20 (this fee includes all materials). Click here to download the class

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: ELIZABETH ROBERTS
Elizabeth
Roberts received her BFA in Painting from the Maryland Institute
College of Art, Baltimore (2006), and recently earned her K-12 Art
Teaching Licensure at Clarke University in Dubuque, Iowa
(2010).
Elizabeth’s paintings explore an abstract narrative while composition
and emphasis of color play an important role in her aesthetic and
sensibility as an artist. Using ideas of myth and lore, the artist is
currently creating a series of abstract works depicting tales from The
Brothers Grimm. Elizabeth’s artwork is represented by Outside the Lines
Art Gallery, Dubuque, Iowa, and has participated in several exhibitions
including, Metamorphosis @ the Voices Warehouse Gallery (2008) and the
Dubuque Museum of Art’s Biennial Juried Exhibition (2007), a joint
showing at Outside the Lines Art Gallery (2009), and a solo show, “The
Nature in Existence” at the Nash Gallery (2008). In September of 2009,
Elizabeth hosted a Children’s Art Workshop & Gallery Talk at
the
Voices Warehouse Gallery.
