MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Join artist Laura Kennedy at the Middletown Art Center for a powerful 2D mixed media workshop around the experience of love and loss this Sunday, March 17, from 1 to 5 p.m.

“Let your heart speak to heal your grief,” Kennedy said. “The creative process is a profound way to assist healing of loss, grief and other emotional stressors of any kind.”

An accomplished mixed media artist, Kennedy will provide a safe creative space, materials, tools and technical expertise to facilitate participants’ individual creative process.

Adults and children age 12 and up of all levels of art making experience, from newbies to professionals, are invited to join the class for just $5.

Bring photos, objects, writing for reference and inspiration, if desired. Please register in advance for this and all Restore classes at www.middletownartcenter.org/restore, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 707-809-8118.

Space is limited and reservations are required.

The class is part of the Restore Project, which provides low-cost classes most weekends through May in mixed media, sculpture, printmaking and creative writing.

While all classes are open to the public to attend one or many times, MAC encourages folks to come to several classes to hone skills, learn new ones, and develop a body of work.

Participants are invited to submit work for select MAC exhibits at the art center and at other locations in county, to contribute prints and writing to a new chapbook, and to collaborate in a sculptural project for Rabbit Hill and artist projects for EcoArts 2019.

Upcoming Restore classes include a writers’ workshop with Clive Matson on Saturday, March 23, from 1 to 5 p.m., followed by a spoken word gathering from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

On Sunday March 31, Restore offers “Vertical Pathways,” sculptural works in natural wood and concrete for the Rabbit Hill project lead by Emily Schiebel. Please visit www.middletownartcenter.org/restore to stay up to date on class schedules and to preregister.

The Restore Project was made possible thanks to support from the California Arts Council, a state agency, with additional support from local organizations, businesses and individuals.

Middletown Art Center is located at 21456 State Highway 175 at the junction of Highway 29. Be a part of the growing arts scene in south Lake County by becoming a MAC member, by coming to Restore printmaking this Sunday, or by attending one of the many arts and cultural events or classes at MAC.
