Event Description
Instructor: Miranda Wildman

Time: 10 am - 12:30 pm
Members: $55 Non-Members: $65
I am so happy to invite you into a daytime art gathering that gently resists the rush to produce and meet deadlines.
We’ll meet at Art Place Studios in Hendersonville, NC for a few spacious hours devoted to slowing down, making marks, building colorful layers following curiosity, and letting productivity loosen its grip.
I’m Miranda Wildman, a local artist who believes art doesn’t need to be useful, impressive, or perfect to matter. I’ll offer step-by-step guidance through a playful mixed media process, holding space for exploration rather than outcomes. I will demonstrate how I use the art materials in my own work, and together, we’ll create abstract, unique, mixed media artworks on wood, focusing on how it feels to make rather than what the finished piece “should” be.
Gathered around shared tables in the bright Art Place Studios classroom, we’ll work with vibrant acrylic paint, delightful collage materials carefully curated by me, and a variety of surprise mixed media elements on wood panels. No pressure to perform. Just permission to be present with the art materials and each other.
A few details:
This is art as rest, as connection to one another, as a small and meaningful refusal to submit to the status quo. Choosing curiosity over efficiency, we will expand our capacity to express ourselves creatively, perhaps in unexpected and new ways. Everyone will leave with a multilayered, vibrant story of an artwork on wood or canvas, either finished or beckoning to unfold further at home.
*This is a favorite workshop amongst folks in the area. See examples of participant artwork below!
Artist Bio:
Miranda believes that art is for everyone. Making art together in a space without judgment challenges pre-conceived notions and inspires dialogue, cultivating understanding and compassion. Through her artistic endeavors, she has 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, Miranda believes in breaking down those barriers. Art-making and appreciation belong to everyone, transcending titles and credentials and engaging with art alongside each other is a way for us to reconnect and realize that we are all a part of the same.
