Welcome to Whimsy Too!
Jon us in celebrating the whimsical magic of Alebrijes (al-ay-bree-hez), Mexican folk art creatures of fantastical design and intricate detail.
The Alebrijes were first created by Mexican artist Pedro Linares Lopez, who when ill in 1936, dreamt of many fantastic animals, like lions with fish faces and toads with butterfly wings, who were shouting, "Alebrijes, alebrijes!” After recovery, he brought them to life in paintings and sculptures.
In this class, we will experience the ways that fine art and folk art are most often one and the same, using oil pastels and yes, a sense of whimsy, to guide us.
Taught by teaching artist Susan Bradford, this class meets on November 1, from 2-5pm, and is open to adults only. No experience necessary. All supplies and materials provided by Happy Time Studio.
Cost: $60
