Chalice Mitchell will teach ink painting in a step-by-step progression that makes ink accessible. Students will learn to paint bamboo, one of the four symbolic plant forms that form the basis of traditional ink painting. The other three; plum blossom, orchid, and chrysanthemum will be taught in winter, spring, and autumn respectively. Bamboo represents vitality, strength and flexibility and is symbolic of summer.

Note: This workshop will include a 30 minute lunch break at 12:30pm. Please be sure to bring food, as Berkshire Art Center is not closely located near anywhere to purchase lunch.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this workshop will be Sunday, August 27. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
