Galveston Art League to hold papier mache and art journaling workshops

​Galveston Art League announces two workshops to kick off the New Year: a papier
mache mask workshop on Jan. 4 and Jan. 11, and “Art Journal Discovery” on Jan. 7.
Both of these low-cost workshops are open to the public and will be held in the Art
League’s gallery, 2117A Postoffice St. in downtown Galveston.
Papier Mache Workshop
Galveston Art League member Amy Slaughter will teach participants to make a papier
mache Mardi Gras mask from noon until 4 p.m. on the first and second Wednesdays in
January.
On Wednesday, Jan. 4, the participating artists will build their armature and cover it
with papier mache. On Jan. 11, masks will be painted.
“Bring your creativity with you and any recyclable item that would help your armature,”
Slaughter says. For instance, possible materials to bring are toilet paper and paper towel
tubes; empty water bottles, yogurt containers or Jell-O cups; and corrugated cardboard.
The masks will be displayed in the Galveston Art League Gallery in advance of Mardi
Gras. Or if the crafters want to wear them home upon completion, that’s fine, too.
Please preregister for this class on www.GalvestonArtLeague.com; the class fee is $50.
Art Journal Discovery
Sharon Hendry will teach the basics of art journaling and how to use journaling to
strengthen creativity. The workshop will be held from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 7.
Hendry will demonstrate techniques for backgrounds, collaging imagery and text use on
the pages of journals. Her techniques can be adapted for inspiration to spark creativity
on other projects, too.
The art journal workshop costs $50; students need to bring blank books and art supplies
of your choice. Registration and payment are available on
www.GalvestonArtLeague.com.
