Upcoming Coffee Talks

Tuesday, September 15th, 10AM

Gary Cudworth, Artist
Paper Sculptures

ARC Gallery

This month we welcome “Paper” artist Gary Cudsworth as for our guest speaker. Gary creates large scale paper drawings using a rich blend of pen and pencil. He is well known for his paper sculptures utilizing basic materials—acrylic and oil paints, along with various surface treatments—to craft trompe l'oeil effects on paper fabrications. Gary will discuss the history, evolution, and process of unique paper sculptures. 

Coffee talks are a great opportunity to learn from other artists, meet new creatives, and ask questions. These are interactive forums where we encourage you to learn and share!
