Cathi Howell, arts educator and artist in her Manzanita studio.
Cathi Howell, artist and arts educator, will lead a series of workshops Monday, July 5th through Friday, July 9th. The workshops will be held at the Hoffman Center at 594 Laneda Avenue in Manzanita.
Part-time 15 year Manzanita resident Cathi Howell will put on an arts curriculum that emphasizes short, one-day creative art projects. The classes will last from 9 to 11 each morning that week. Each class will feature a different technique, including simple printmaking processes, collage, simple sculpture from recycled materials, and self-portraits. No art experience is necessary. This is not technical art training, however experienced artists are welcomed. Students can attend just one or two of the classes—they cost just $20 each, or sign up for the entire week and get a discounted rate of $85. Students get a special discounted rate of $10 per class.
Cathi Howell is a retired arts educator, arts entrepreneur, and studio artist. Currently she teaches an arts program for Rosemary Anderson High School in Portland Oregon several hours each week. She was one of the founding board members of the Hoffman Center.
