This workshop offers an opportunity to explore different techniques and forms of art, such as brush painting, pen and ink, watercolor, and drawing. All levels of experience and expertise are welcome. Participants will bring their own supplies and materials and will work independently. While class facilitators and participants can offer encouragement, ideas and suggestions to each other, this will NOT be an instructional class.

Compete with your fellow ICLRU friends in this class. I will present some familiar games like Quiddler, Rummikub and Sequence. There will be something for you. Please bring any game that you think might be fun in this class.
