Across Roads Center for the Arts is proud to present Joy Spontak as instructor of a multi-generational workshop, “Drawing from Life and Imagination," on Saturday, November 14th from 9:30-11:30 am at The Grange Hall in Waterbury Center. This workshop we will focus on learning drawing skills, including activities for any skill level, while we work from observation and imagination. We will also learn how to appreciate our own aesthetic sensibility and that of all others in the group. Primarily using charcoal and paper, this workshop is open to all ages and experience levels.

Ms. Spontak is a visual artist who has exhibited her work widely and taught in a variety of settings during the past 35 years. Joy holds an MFA in Visual Arts from Vermont College of Norwich University and has taught children and adults at The Helen Day Art Center, for the Adult Degree Program at Vermont College where she was artist-in-residence, for teens at workshops for the Washington County Youth Service Bureau, in nursing homes, which included elementary school students painting with elders through a grant from the VT Council on the Arts, and many more venues. She loves working with all skill levels and ages, and her teaching method allows students to feel safe, not judged and open to experiencing the joy of their innate creativity while learning or expanding a new skill.

Saturday, November 14, 9:30-11:30 at the Grange Hall, 317 Howard Ave, Waterbury Center. Open to a wide range of ages and abilities. $15 at the door. Across Roads Center for the Arts members free. Info at http://acrossroads.org/fall-workshops-at-across-roads/
