Join Winslow Art Center and mixed media artist Lucie Duclos for a week-long art adventure in the medieval town of Bevagna, located in the province of Umbria, “the green heart of Italy.”

Immerse yourself for seven days in this mixed media workshop based on Lucie’s popular 40 Days of Postcards quarantine project. Discover a variety of mixed media techniques as you experiment with paint, collage, ephemera, stencils, stamps, printmaking, masking, punching, drawing, mark making and more while creating a series of “postcards from Italy.” Your postcards will be your “journal”, a way of looking, observing, noticing and recording what you see, taste and feel during the week- the culture, colors and flavors. Each day, Lucie will help you to look at everything from a new perspective to stretch your creativity.

From scouring local markets to working alongside Lucie in the studio, discover how everything has potential and can be incorporated into your postcards from Italy. Are you inspired by the shape of amaretto cookies, olives or pasta, the colors on a train ticket, a paper placemat from a restaurant?  Can you stick foam on a bottle of wine and create a texture to roll on your postcards? Of course you can!  Lucie loves to share her techniques and inspire others, just as other artists have inspired her over the years.” What better place to be inspired than in Italy?

We will have daily access to our own dedicated “studio” space in our hotel.

Art materials included: Acrylic and watercolor paints, white and black pens, cardstock for postcards, envelopes, glue, brushes, collage materials, sticky foam, rollers, foam plates, one of Lucie’s stencils.
