Simple tools can be powerful vehicles for artistic expression. Sensitively used, charcoal and graphite become antennae, sensory extensions, and seismographs of our attention, tracing the very act of observation onto a surface. Join artist Joshua Hart in the Materials Lab to first familiarize ourselves with these materials and to develop a wide range of marks, starting with some collaborative gesture studies. We’ll break for a brief inspiring tour of the exhibition Sketch, Shade, Smudge: Drawing from Gray to Black, led by exhibition co-curator Miriam Stewart, and then return to the Materials Lab to sketch, shade, smudge, and more!
This workshop is organized in conjunction with the current exhibition Sketch, Shade, Smudge: Drawing from Gray to Black (September 12, 2025–January 18, 2026).
All materials will be provided.
The hands-on session will take place in the Materials Lab on the Lower Level.
$15 workshop fee. Registration is required and space is limited; registration will open on this form, beginning on Wednesday, November 5, at 10am. Workshop fee must be paid to confirm registration. Minimum age of 14; no previous experience required.
