Drawing Workshop with Sam Winston

Wednesday Apr 2, 2025 3:30 PM & 7:30 PM

Artist Sam Winston, whose work is featured in the exhibition Out of the Ordinary: Uncommon Materials, Matrices, and Marks, will discuss and demonstrate his use of found local materials to make inks before leading attendees in drawing, writing, and breathing exercises. For Winston, drawing, mark-making, and foraging are ways to explore complex systems of knowledge, in particular those related to the air we breathe. Working with locally foraged ink, Sam and the workshop attendees will move “ways of knowing out of our heads and into our hands” through embodied creative practices to make marks on paper with renewed intention. 

Workshops will last approximately 60 minutes and are capped at 30 participants and are first-come-first-served. No previous drawing experience necessary.

Please note that this workshop is not suitable for children and involves working with tobacco and other polluted materials.
