A hand holding a crumpled piece of towel hovers over a black and white drawing of a cute quail standing by a flower. The drawing is intentionally stained with puddles of black liquid but the petals of the flower are white. There's a cup of black fluid on the table next to the drawing.

By-Hand How-To Workshop Series

Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
August 2024 – May 2025

Keep your hands active and your mind engaged with the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art’s new By-Hand How-To workshops. From August 2024 until May 2025 we’ll have artists here almost every month to guide you gently through a series of new skills—crochet, botanical drawing, and more.
 
Each workshop session runs from 12–4 p.m. but you can arrive and leave at any time. Materials are provided by the Marjorie Barrick Museum. Guests of all ages are welcome. No previous experience is required. Join us from August 27–30 for sunprint workshops led by Ali Fathollahi, followed in September by Crochet 101 with Ailene Pasco (Sept. 18–21). Dates for October will be announced soon.

About the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
