Check out the trailer here: http://consciouscartoons.org/best18/ Conscious Cartoons is a non-profit, competitive international animation festival, and the first of its kind solely focused on short works (15 min. or less) addressing social issues. This festival aims to open eyes, hearts, and minds, through the uniquely transcendent medium of animation. Following the spectacular success of the 2018 inaugural festival on Vashon Island WA, (which boasted sold-out screenings, over 1600 attendees, international filmmaker attendance, and an enthusiastic audience base eager for more,) we have curated an 85-minute "Best Of" Touring Program that showcases the spirit of the Conscious Cartoons Animation Festival, and its ability to engage, enlighten and entertain audiences across the country.

Sept 21-22 beginning monoprint—no experience necessary, but experienced artists will enjoy it as well. Use the etching press to create a one of a kind image. Using oil based inks, create images on a plexi glass plate using brushies, stencils, stamps, natural materrials, fabric textures, and whatever you can think of. This is a fun free form process—you will make a print by lunch time. In this class you will also learn to use the press and understand how the studio works. Great fun! Details: classes run from 10:00 to 4:00. The cost is $195 for the two days plus $25 material fees. The fees include everything except extra paper which can be purchaced at cost. The classes are located at the Beall greenhouses at 18531 Beall Rd SW Vashon. I am very excited about these classes.
