In Process Community Art Space
Ages 12+(Participants under 18 must attend with a registered adult.)
What if the "mistakes" and playful experiments you create became the masterpiece?
Join local artist Jennifer Blue Blanchard for Paper Scapes, a process-based art experience that transforms simple painted papers into vibrant, layered landscapes.
Rather than beginning with a finished picture in mind, you'll spend the first part of the evening experimenting with paint: exploring color, texture, mark-making, and creative techniques simply for the joy of creating. Once your painted papers have dried, you'll cut and arrange strips of your own artwork to build a unique landscape collage full of movement, texture, and surprise.
This workshop celebrates curiosity, play, and trusting the creative process. Every landscape will be completely different because it begins with your own expressive marks.
In this workshop, you'll:
Explore a variety of painting and texture techniques
Experiment freely with color and mark-making
Create beautiful hand-painted papers
Transform your painted papers into a layered landscape collage
Discover how playful experimentation can lead to unexpected beauty
No prior art experience is necessary. All materials are provided.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or simply looking for a creative evening with family or friends, Paper Scapes offers a welcoming space to slow down, experiment, and experience the joy of making.
At In Process, we believe creativity isn't about getting it right, it's about staying curious.

Slow down and reconnect with the creative process through the art of handmade paper.
August 29th - 4-6 pm
Ages 18+
In this immersive workshop, artist Dani Pugel will introduce participants to the fundamentals of papermaking, from preparing pulp to forming and pressing handmade sheets. Participants will have opportunities to incorporate texture, botanicals, and other creative elements into their work while learning about the history and possibilities of this unique art form.
Because of the hands-on nature of papermaking, workshop size is intentionally limited to allow for individual guidance and ample workspace.
Participants will leave with several handmade paper creations and the knowledge needed to continue exploring the process independently.
All materials are included.
Instructor: Dani Pugel
Space is limited.
In Process workshops are designed to be beginner-friendly and process-focused. Come as you are. No artistic experience required.

Creative Connections
A Free Monthly Art Gathering for Adults 60+
Hosted at In Process Community Art Space
Creativity doesn't have an age limit.
Join us each month for Creative Connections, a free community art gathering designed for adults ages 60 and older. Together we'll explore different art materials, learn new creative techniques, and enjoy the simple pleasure of making alongside others.
No artistic experience is needed, just curiosity.
Each month features a different process-based project using materials like paint, collage, printmaking, clay, nature, textiles, and more. Our focus isn't on creating the perfect piece of artwork. Rather, it's about enjoying the process, trying something new, and connecting with others.
Research shows that engaging in creative activities can support healthy aging by encouraging cognitive stimulation, reducing stress, fostering social connection, and promoting overall well-being.
What to expect:
A different hands-on art project each month
Step-by-step guidance in a welcoming environment
Time to socialize and create together
All materials provided
No previous art experience required
At In Process, we believe creativity is part of being human. Whether you've always loved making art or are picking up a paintbrush for the first time in decades, you'll find a supportive community waiting for you.
Cost: Free
Who: Adults ages 60+
Registration is required to plan accordingly for group size.

In Process Studio is a project by Art of the Heart.
Art of the Heart has been creating therapeutic and community-based creative spaces for years. This studio grew from the desire to offer creativity outside of therapy, as a way of being, not fixing.
