We will use techniques such as tearing\, folding\, cutting\, quilling\, and our imagination. A variety of paper\, from handmade to wallpaper\, newsprint and beyond\, will make it a happening experience! \nThis is a fabulous way to make sustainable art from things you already have. \nThere is no skill level required. You will only need your finely tuned hands and a pair of scissors! Paper provided; scissors available\, but you might want to bring your own. \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Instructor: \nAnn Woods says:“After a twenty-seven-year career as an art teacher\, I have become a visual artist. I create bas-relief images from paper. By tearing\, folding\, rolling\, painting\, quilling\, and manipulating paper I can make interesting 3-D images. Most of the images are birds\, flowers\, insects\, and abstracts. I love the flexibility of this medium and the way it allows me to work in color and form. I employ all types of paper\, from my handmade paper to some I found in a small market in Thailand\, to old watercolors that my husband was preparing to throw away. I also use Coloraid paper because of the variety and richness of the hues available. Sharing my creations give me joy — and I hope it will do the same for you\, too.” \n \n \n \n \n \n In all its events\, Artists for Climate Awareness provides thematic environmental education\, offering practical ways to get involved locally. As part of this commitment\, a representative from The Center for Sustainable Living will be giving a short presentation on how their organization contributes to community-driven environmental initiatives. \n \n \n \n \n \n Fee: $50 nonmembers; $30 for current Artists Climate Awareness members(Not a member?

As a composer\, his music addressed pressing global issues such as systemic racism\, climate change\, intolerance\, and social injustice. His latest works “Gaman” (2017) and “Terra Nostra” (2019) address systemic racism and climate change respectively. As a Grammy-nominated conductor\, based in Seattle\, Christophe Chagnard has led a vast repertoire of symphonic\, operatic\, and ballet works of all styles and periods. He has also spent three decades making the concert hall accessible to all\, addressing the elitist stereotype that plagues this art form. As a guitarist\, he explores a wide array of styles and traditions together in genre-defying creations intended to present an open and inclusive voice that transcends labels. \nChristophe’s pivotal project\, Terra Nostra\, expresses the ways he believes art can impact climate change and education. He is the founder of Earth Creative\, which he describes as a legacy project that has a mission to use the power of the arts to raise awareness about climate change to advance climate justice for all. He has a deep sense of responsibility to address the climate crisis through creative and interdisciplinary means. Christophe and his family currently reside in St. Louis. https://earthcreative.org/ \nThere will be an introduction by Mr. Chagnard and a follow up panel discussion and Q&A session by all 3 artists.
