This collaborative workshop guides participants through the entire mural painting process, from concept development to the completion of a 10 feet x 16 feet mural on canvas. Together as a class, we will conceptualize the design, create a project proposal, prepare a large canvas in the studio, scale up the design, and paint at a large scale.  Finally, participants will learn a method for preparing the completed mural  for future installation. The workshop emphasizes teamwork and involves painting directly alongside other participants, fostering a creative and cooperative environment. 

Participants should be comfortable using a step stool, a 6’ ladder, and working from a seated position on the floor.
