**[Sanaa Design Studios](http://www.sanaa-design.com/) \| 800 W Beverley St\, Staunton\, VA 24401** **Thursday\, August 27 \| 6:00–8:00 PM** **Price: $80/person** **Guests: Members may bring a guest if they wish (women only, please)** Ready to tap into your creative side and enjoy a warm and welcoming event downtown with a fabulous local artist? Join [Sarah Jones](https://www.sanaa-design.com/about.html#/) at her [studio ](https://www.sanaa-design.com/#/)for this hands-on event, during which participants will create their own small-scale bas-relief sculpture using gypsum, exploring techniques such as layering, texturing, and piping to build dimension and movement across the surface. Using ridged trowels, spatulas, and piping bags, you’ll learn how to manipulate material to form expressive, cloud-like compositions that play with light and shadow. **No prior experience is necessary.** This class is designed to be both accessible and creatively engaging, with a focus on process, exploration, and presence. Light refreshments, including a cheeseboard and beverages, will be provided. You are also welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks (no alcohol for this event, please). Payment will be due for you (and your guest if you bring one) shortly after your RSVP date (see full details, including reimbursement policy, below). Please note that 100% of this payment goes to Sarah; host do not receive any funds and we pay for our course as well. A special thanks to **MW Rebecca** for initiating this idea and working with Sarah to create a curated experience just for the "Em Dubya"! This is going to be a magnificent event for us to create, experiment, and enjoy a relaxed, inspiring evening. Hope to see you there!
