O'Hanlon Center for the Arts

Monoprint - January 4
2026-01-04 10:00 - 15:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | O’Hanlon Center for the Arts
WE ARE OFFERING THIS WORKSHOP TWICE A MONTH
Monoprinting is a playful, exploratory process requiring neither a press nor a background in art

On a plate of gel or plexiglass, images are made with paint, rollers, sponges, netting, leaves or anything else which might create an interesting pattern. The focus is not upon the finished work but upon the experience of discovery and making art.
In the workshop, after two or three hours, the group gathers to discuss what has been created. The purpose of the discussion is to help each person recognize the beauty in their work. Or, in the words of Ann O’Hanlon, our purpose is “to look upon a seemingly random work of our own with interest” and with “the same fulfillment… experienced on an unknown wilderness trail.”
First and Third Sundays, 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
$60 | $50 OHCA members +
$10 materials fee paid to facilitator on day of workshop
7 people MAX

About Candis Cousins
Candis Cousins first came to the Center in 1972. Ann O’Hanlon was alive and at that time the Center was called ‘Sight and Insight.’ On Candis’ first day, Ann’s suggestion for working was this: “Every decision you make, try to make the wrong decision.”
In 2002, Candis returned to OHCA to join the mono printing group led by Cayen Robertson and Karen Cox. In her own work, Candis tries to keep moving forward without a plan, just to see what comes.

“It is such an invigorating, soul-finding experience to facilitate this workshop. A love-fest, a laugh-fest on the high seas of creativity!”
– Candis

Tuesday Perception Workshop

Explore, experiment, and discover your unique form of creative expression.

The Visual Perception workshops are hands-on creating with materials, experimenting, and discovering without dependence on technique. Participants are encouraged to pay attention to what you see, accept the marks you make, explore, experiment, and discover your unique form of creative expression.
A simple prompt or exercise is given at the beginning of class. Participants are free to elaborate on their initial efforts or do something else entirely.
We end the workshops with a gathering (coming together) of everyone and their work. Participants look, discuss, and value the work created.
Most materials are provided and/or bring your own.
$30 non-members | $25 OHCA members
Members may prepay for 10 sessions for just $200. Please contact the office to purchase.

The Creative Impulse: Writing for Artists, Drawing for WritersFacilitated by Ruth Gander | Saturday, January 11 • 12–4 PM $60 OHCA Members | $75 Non-Members Maximum: 12 participants

Writing for artists.Drawing for writers.Music for chefs.Dancing for architects.
As the new year begins, let’s mix it up—experimenting with new ways of listening, imagining, observing, and creating. Let the colors speak. Let the words take shape. Change your rhythms. Invite your muse to lunch.
When we step outside our usual creative boundaries, we open ourselves to authenticity and surprise. We might find unexpected harmony—or glimpse a whole new map of our artistic process. Try something new, or return to a piece you didn’t think you could finish. Serious fun awaits.
Our tools will be pencils and brushes—our ears, eyes, hands, and hearts.
Open to everyone.

Inside JUNK JOURNALING with Peller
2026-01-14 13:00 - 15:30
Junk journaling is a creative and mindful craft that blends scrapbooking and collaging, serving as a heartfelt response to the fleeting nature of digital life. In a world dominated by screens and instant communication, junk journaling invites you to slow down and reconnect with tangible, physical materials—snipping, gluing, and layering to create meaningful art.
By transforming everyday “trash” like parking tickets, luggage tags, ticket stubs, or even pieces of pizza boxes into beautiful collages, you can discover the magic in the overlooked and discarded. It’s a fun challenge to seek out items you might normally toss away and repurpose them into personal journal entries or artistic pieces.
Adopting a collector’s eye encourages mindfulness and observation, inspiring you to notice the small ephemera of daily life—receipts, labels, snippets of wrapping paper—and see them as treasures waiting to be incorporated into your journal.
Join this creative journey to add a little magic and intentionality to your day-to-day life. Embrace the imperfect, the transient, and the beautiful in the ordinary through junk journaling—where one person’s junk becomes another’s treasured story.
Join me in adding a little magic to your day to day.
