Join artist Tenesh Webber for an immersive, hands-on workshop exploring the expressive potential of charcoal and pencil in creating monochromatic abstract art. Inspired by her exhibition Off Grid: Drawings and Prints, participants will delve into the fundamentals of line, form, and composition to create unique abstract images that capture both structure and spontaneity. Through guided exercises and individual experimentation, this workshop will encourage participants to engage deeply with texture, shading, and mark-making, celebrating the subtle power of monochrome.

Open to all skill levels, this session offers a rewarding journey into the expressive world of minimalist abstraction.
