      <title>Part 1: Layers of the Land – Abstracting the Acadia Landscape (23 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://artwavesmdi.org/resources/Pictures/Screenshot%202026-06-08%20114031.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Workshop Part 1: Layers of the Land – Abstracting the Acadia Landscape&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;Ages 12 and older (younger children may attend with an adult!)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;Participants will explore the textures, colors, and patterns of Acadia National Park through a curated collection of found natural objects—such as stones, driftwood fragments, dried grasses, bark, and sea-worn materials. Using these objects as visual and tactile references, we will examine how shape, repetition, contrast, and surface inform our understanding of place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;The session will include a guided discussion on how artists abstract a landscape—moving from direct observation to interpretation by simplifying forms, exaggerating scale, layering color, and emphasizing rhythm and movement rather than literal representation. Participants will learn how abstraction can express memory, atmosphere, and ecological character. Participants will then create their own hand-painted collage papers using upcycled materials, drawing inspiration from Acadia’s coastal palette—granite grays, ocean blues, lichen greens, and weathered earth tones. These papers will be assembled into layered abstract compositions that reflect the contours, energy, and textures of the Acadia landscape, merging mindful observation with creative experimentation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;Sign up for Workshop Part 2: Layers of Life – Abstracting Species and Systems in Acadia, as well!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;The second session expands on the first workshop by focusing on living systems within Acadia’s ecosystem, again using found natural objects and visual references rather than field observation. Participants will examine materials such as feathers, shells, pine needles, lichen, and seaweed forms, discussing how these elements reveal patterns of adaptation, resilience, and interconnection. We will examine some of the indigenous species unique to Acadia National Park, with attention to their habitats. Through sketching and material exploration, participants will learn how to abstract organic forms—translating botanical and ecological structures into simplified marks, layered shapes, and repeated motifs. The workshop will emphasize how abstraction can communicate biodiversity and ecological relationships without literal depiction. Participants who attended Program 1 may integrate these new abstracted forms into their existing collage landscapes, adding complexity and narrative. New participants will be guided through the same techniques and will create their own layered abstract compositions that&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style="font-size: 18px;" face="Verdana"&gt;Meet your artist instructor: &lt;strong&gt;Camille Kouyoumdjian&lt;/strong&gt; is a contemporary mixed media artist whose work explores the intersection of landscape, material, and environmental memory. Drawing inspiration from coastal Maine and the California shoreline, she creates atmospheric, textural paintings using acrylic, oil, cold wax, and reclaimed materials. As an educator, Camille teaches workshops that emphasize process, experimentation, and a deep connection to the natural world. Her approach encourages artists of all levels to work intuitively, incorporate sustainable practices, and develop their own visual language through layering, mark-making, and material exploration.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p style="" align="center"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Improv!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Introduction to Contemporary Marbling Intensive: Paper and Fabric (17 Jul 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h2 class="-wa-event-details-title" style="line-height: 25px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://artwavesmdi.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_6808.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0D0D0D" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" face="Roboto, sans-serif"&gt;This 2 day workshop is an introduction to the fascinating and historied art of water marbling.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" face="Roboto, sans-serif"&gt;Marbling is a process in which paints are floated on a liquid surface and worked into patterns using different methods and tools. The pattern or image is then transferred to paper, fabric, or object. We will cover how to choose the correct materials and how to prepare them for the optimal marbling experience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" face="Roboto, sans-serif"&gt;Then we will explore color theory by designing a personal color palette that will be used in our marbling lesson.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" face="Roboto, sans-serif"&gt;We will begin by playing with different approaches to applying color and pattern to the marbling vat, trying out different tools and rakes. We will also learn how to use a stylus to “paint” on the marbling liquid and create images. Each participant will have several sheets of paper to practice these marbling techniques. In the second section of the workshop, we will create more refined and planned marbled prints on fabric and discuss the differences in preparation and application when it comes to marbling on fabric as opposed to paper.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Claire began her journey in Chicago in 2019, developing her expertise in hand-marbling techniques. Now based in Portland, Maine, Claire has expanded Tempered East to encompass a broader range of artistic pursuits, including handmade paper and sewn objects, all while maintaining a high standard of quality and precision. Claire's workshops are designed to provide a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" face="Roboto, sans-serif"&gt;We will begin by playing with different approaches to applying color and pattern to the marbling vat, trying out different tools and rakes. We will also learn how to use a stylus to “paint” on the marbling liquid and create images. Each participant will have several sheets of paper to practice these marbling techniques. In the second section of the workshop, we will create more refined and planned marbled prints on fabric and discuss the differences in preparation and application when it comes to marbling on fabric as opposed to paper.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Pysanky - Ukrainian Egg Decorating Evening (15 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h3 data-section-id="me9x59" data-start="0" data-end="42"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Egg-spressive Art: EGG-CITING Pysanky!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p data-start="44" data-end="320"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style=""&gt;Discover the timeless art of pysanky, traditional Ukrainian egg decorating, in a welcoming and creative setting at ArtWaves. The table is prepared with everything you need—local eggs, candles, kistkas (wax-writing tools), vibrant dyes, and the sweet aroma of warm beeswax.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="322" data-end="638"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Through step-by-step instruction, you'll learn the basics of color layering, pattern design, and wax-resist techniques that transform ordinary eggs into intricate works of art. Experiment with traditional kistkas or try an electric version of the tool, combining methods to create designs that are uniquely your own.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="640" data-end="878"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Pysanky is a relaxing and meditative process of applying warm wax and dipping eggs into successive dye baths, building colorful, elaborate patterns one layer at a time. Follow traditional Ukrainian motifs or let your creativity guide you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="880" data-end="1143"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style=""&gt;Perfect for individuals, families, and groups, this hands-on workshop offers a memorable artistic experience for all skill levels.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="880" data-end="1143"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style=""&gt;&lt;em&gt;Interested in a private gathering? Custom workshops can be arranged for friends, colleagues, or family at a time that works for you.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style=""&gt;&lt;em&gt;For private workshop inquiries, contact &lt;a data-start="1187" data-end="1209" style=""&gt;office@artwavesmdi.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
