Workshop POSTPONED. Please check back in spring of 2021 or contact Amanda Houston for more details. Thank you.

Debuting this co-instructing workshop! Ever wonder why we “play” music but do art “work”? Come and practice improvising in this playful, interactive workshop. Loosen Up. Learn the art of letting go. The ability to be spontaneous, receptive and in the moment is vital in our creative process. In this workshop, through carefully structured exercises, you’ll train your brain to readily engage the spontaneous mode, strengthening it to become an equal partner in your art making. This is a fun, interactive and intense workshop open to all with basic comfort using the materials. Full of movement, fun and lots of creativity. Amanda is coming back to the Knoll for the second time, and bring 25 years of business and design experience with her energetic art teaching style. She is internationally collected, an IAPS Masters Circle Member and 2020 award winner of Pastel 100 and other national shows.
