Work with artist Sam Page to explore mixed media drawing in this fun and experimental drawing class. We will draw different subject matter to create beautiful works of art using a variety of traditional media like pencils, crayons and markers, but also microns, ink, paint sticks, etc. Each class will include freestyle drawing, drawing games, and a few surprises! Sam will challenge you to think outside the box, and help you understand what kind of art is "beautiful" to you, or when your work is "finished".

  • Due to a set of stairs, this classroom is not wheelchair accessible.

Christian, Sam

Focusing in multiple mediums, Sam’s primary forms are Linocut printmaking, Fiber Arts (sewing and quilting) and Comic Art. Sam is a native of Richmond’s East End who has worked to craft a practice around the beauty and inequities found in the East End and communities like it. Through eco-conscious printmaking that highlights the deep history of the East End community and artistic partnerships in schools and community spaces, Sam has been instrumental in cultivating light and love in the spaces they call home. Being no stranger to the obstacles facing students of the East End, both academic and social, Sam looks for any opportunity to shift the narrative and make space for young artists.
