Just for a Season: Art Journaling at Morven


Ticket Prices
General Admission: $115
Member (ACP and Morven): $100

Please note the first day of the workshop scheduled for Friday, January 19, has been postponed due to inclement weather. Sessions for this two-day workshop are now scheduled for Friday, January 26, and Friday, February 2, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. This program is hosted by the Arts Council of Princeton.

Under the guidance of artist educator Dressler Smith, participants will use still life to learn fundamental techniques of drawing and watercolor painting. Fuse words with imagery to organize your thoughts, preserve your experiences, and de-stress though a personally expressive outlet. Using the four seasons as a starting point, learn how to commit your life’s memories to book form though engaging prompts and practical tips from the instructor. No drawing experience necessary.

A membership discount is available to members of Morven (as well as to ACP members). Please email education@artscouncilofprinceton.org if you’re a Morven member who would like to register with the discount.
