Portland Spring 2027

In this workshop, we’re learning the construction and filling of what I like to call the "paper burrito." We will warm up with exploratory drips and dribbles, stenciled and stamped, art marks, and collage. This is a uniquely folded, pocket-heavy vessel perfect to hold our fillings feast of zines and tags and garnish with trims and ribbon. All levels welcome; all you need is a willingness to play as we will walk on the side of permission.
