The Workshop Series at Abrams Claghorn is an opportunity for the people in our community to learn more about the artists whose art is showcased in the gallery. Every artist has their own expertise and style. Each has created a workshop designed to help you learn some of their techniques and skills. No experience necessary, all levels are welcome. This is your chance to work alongside a fellow artist and to refine your skills, or to learn something new!
