The #fwmoa is hosting a garden party and the studio has moved outdoors to join! Today, we'll look to Dorothy Gillespie and her 3D, outdoor sculptures for inspiration to make our own wavy, curly paper works.

Saturday Studio: Selfie Stencils
Today in the #fwmoa #studio we decided to use ourselves as inspiration. Like the self-portrait by Paul Valadez, we created our own stencil to learn more about what makes us look like us! Learn how to make your own stencil selfie in this #saturdaystudio.
Saturday Studio: Egg-cellent Art
We're so egg-cited to share with your our egg-cellent inspiration for the #fwmoa #studio this week! Continuing with our foray into food, we look to Clarence Holbrook Carter's ovoid shapes to create collages.
Spud-tacular Saturday Studio
It's spud-tacular in the #studio today! Inspired by the warming weather and furry friends, we're making potato prints. Grab a potato and some paints and join us!
Saturday Studio: I Found my Marbles
Today in the #studio, we're spilling our marbles and using them as inspiration for some meditative artmaking. Follow along with Education Assistant Naomi Vanderleest to learn about paper marbling!
Saturday Studio: Capturing the Past & Present
Inspired by Indiana photographer Martina Lopez, today in the #studio we're trying her digital processes using a hands-on method to blend multiple images into one!
Saturday Studio: It’s Not All Black & White
Are ALL black and white photographs historic? Of course not! Many contemporary artists, like John Bower, capture their images in black and white. Today in the Studio, we examine why an artist may choose to leave color behind and focus on shadow and light.
Saturday Studio: Setting Sail!
This week the #fwmoa studio has set sail, inspired by Dennis McNett's Viking ship on display in the galleries through March 13th. Learn how to make your own boat and take it out for adventures on the icy seas, or maybe just your backyard puddles!
Saturday Studio: Dazzle, Pattern, Color, & Bling
The #fwmoa studio isn't afraid to admit that they're obsessed with Liz Whitney Quisgard's dazzle, pattern, color, and bling. So much so that her work, currently on display in the museum, has inspired yet another studio session!
Saturday Studio: Layers Upon Layers
Today in the #studio we're exploring what lies beneath the surface...of the paint that is! Inspired by local artist Austin Cartwright, we picked up our paints and a palette knife and scraped away layers to create a work of abstract art.
