Art Workshop: Creativity & Healing: Ink Blot Art with Laura Sharp Wilson

Explore the amazing world of ink blots! Using various colored inks we will create a collection of ink blots.  Once they are dry we will look at our blots and find imagery which you will embellish with fine tip marker and colored pencils.
