The focus is not upon the finished work but upon the experience of discovery and making art. \nIn 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.” \nSundays\, 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.\n$55 | $44 OHCA members + \n$10 materials fee paid to facilitator on day of workshop \n7 people MAX\n \nART DETAIL: JANET GREENWOOD\n \n\nAbout Candis Cousins \nCandis 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.” \nIn 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. \n  \n“It is such an invigorating\, soul-finding experience to facilitate this workshop. A love-fest\, a laugh-fest on the high seas of creativity!” \n– Candis \n  URL:https://www.ohanloncenter.org/event/monoprinting-with-candis-cousins-12-1-24/ LOCATION:O’Hanlon Center for the Arts CATEGORIES:Visual Arts ORGANIZER;CN="OHCA Staff":MAILTO:office@ohanloncenter.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241202T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241202T180000 DTSTAMP:20260409T134827 CREATED:20241019T141821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241019T142817Z UID:20002545-1733157000-1733162400@www.ohanloncenter.org SUMMARY:Drawing for Teens – with Laurel Shear (2024 - Series 5) DESCRIPTION:Light\, tone\, line\, pattern\, mass\, perspective\, abstraction and composition\nMondays: 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. \n6 weeks\, non consecutive Mondays: \nOct 21\, Oct 28\, Nov 18\, Dec 2\, 9 &16\n(Final series for 2024)\n \nIn this 6-week series we will use a range of drawing materials.

Hasta Pronto. Bonnie \n  \n\n  \nAbout Bonnie:\nFun\, fabric\, fiber and function have been the core of my artistic journey since I was a child. Raised in Mexico\, my first large installation as a teenager was a set of yarn headboards inspired by the Cora Indian technique of yarn appliqué. I spent my summers as an apprentice to a batik artist in Mexico City. \nTravels and an M.A. in textiles led me to an exciting teaching career at Fort Mason Art Center in San Francisco; art exhibitions\, awards and many trade shows such as the American Craft Council and Rosen throughout the country established my Bonika butlers and benches as a well-known whimsical and functional art form.” \nhttps://www.mounttamartists.org/projects/bonnie-himberg/ \n  \n\n  \n  URL:https://www.ohanloncenter.org/event/felted-hats-and-vessels-w-bonnie-himberg/ CATEGORIES:Visual Arts ORGANIZER;CN="OHCA Staff":MAILTO:office@ohanloncenter.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241211T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241211T203000 DTSTAMP:20260409T134828 CREATED:20240915T135919Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240915T144028Z UID:20002500-1733945400-1733949000@www.ohanloncenter.org SUMMARY:Women's Meditation Circle on Zoom DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. \n10 sessions from September 11 – December 11\, 2024 \nRegister for 5 sessions at a time: $75 or $60 OHCA membersYour prepaid dates do not need to be consecutive.Single drop-in session: $20. \n“Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.” Rainer Maria Rilke. \nDrawing on mindfulness practices and Buddhist perspectives\, we attend to the breath and present moment awareness\, so that we may step back from inciting thoughts and emotions\, loosen the grip of the past\, and open to silence.
