We will delve into a discussion about the types of materials that are fabulously suited for travel and everyday outings, while also exploring the profound benefits of recording the feelings and experiences we encounter in various places through the lens of art-making.
Whether you’re planning a big trip or simply want to see your everyday world with new eyes, this workshop will help you tap into the joy of creative documentation.

All levels welcome. Step-by-step instructions and Materials provided.
Artist Bio:
Who is Miranda? I grew up in a cozy Vermont town, basking in nature's changing beauty. Creating art with my mom and friends sparked my imagination and led me to the Maine College of Art, where I continued to appreciate New England’s lush landscapes. My journey then took me to Western North Carolina, a vibrant place that fuels my creativity, drawing inspiration from its biodiversity and community connections.Through my artistic endeavors, I have come to understand that our ties with one another and with nature are essential. In a world where capitalism often encourages us to see ourselves as isolated individuals, I believe in breaking down those barriers. Art-making and appreciation belong to everyone, transcending titles and credentials. Engaging with art is a way for us to reconnect—not only with each other but with the earth itself.
