Arcana in Acrylics: Painting the Tarot Session A
Adult Class | Registration opens 8/6/2025 8:00 PM EDT
Painting the Tarot explores the age-old art of tarot card design through acrylic painting. Students will reimagine a card of their choice — either from their own deck or the instructor’s—interpreting its symbolism through color, form, and personal expression. Instructor Dove offers a relaxed, supportive teaching style with fun and constructive group critiques.
