No formal instruction… just a time to create, be around other creatives, and bounce ideas off of one another without trying to find your dining table. The classroom doesn’t care if that laundry is still in the dryer! It just asks you to be respectful and create.

Creating Texture with Spider Web Fibers
2026-01-17 10:00 - 16:00 | Stanly Arts Guild and Gifts, 330 North Second Street, Albemarle, NC, 28001, United States
We have a wonderful Mixed Media workshop coming up with none other than Susan Lackey!
Susan will guide you through a series of steps in this stress-free process. Using synthetic spider webs (Halloween kind) and watercolor paint, you will create textures on two different surfaces: Yupo and watercolor paper. The textured surfaces can be used alone as an abstract painting, or as a background for subjects (as shown in The Southeastern Long-beaked Teal Bird and the Cat).
Skill levels: All skill levels. No experience required.
Price: Includes ALL materials. $30 for Stanly Arts Guild Members / $40.00 for Non-Members
Ages: adults
LAST DAY TO REGISTER: January 15th, 2026. No Walk Ins for this session. Register at Stanly Arts Guild during open hours, or contact Susan Lackey directly at SusanLackeyArt@gmail.com.
Please arrive as close to 10am as possible. Susan will be demonstrating the process at the beginning of the workshop session.
Class Preparation:

This is a long day. Bring a snack or lunch for the short break.
Wear old clothes or bring an apron/smock. This process can be messy.
If you want to keep your hands clean: bring gloves.
Bring a playful attitude and prepare to have fun!
