"Paint and Pass Night" is a collaborative art experience where participants engage in a unique form of artistic expression. In this class, attendees start with a blank canvas and are encouraged to freely express themselves through painting. However, there's a twist – after a set amount of time, participants rotate to the next canvas, adding their own touches to the artwork started by someone else. This cyclical process continues until each canvas has been touched by every participant, resulting in a collective masterpiece with layers of individual perspectives. Through this playful and interactive approach, Paint and Pass Night fosters creativity, encourages spontaneity, and celebrates the diversity of artistic styles within a supportive community environment. Join us for a night of creativity, connection, and collaborative artistry with Artist Shirley Anderson. Canvas and paints are supplied.

This FREE session is for the alumni of previous worm composting workshops. The instructor will inspect worm bins, demonstrate and assist with harvesting and provide any additional help needed.
