TOMORROW: How to Teach an Art Workshop with Christine Brouzes . Wedesday, October 16, 7-9pm, MAWA, 611 Main Street . $10 for members of MAWA or Creative Manitoba; $20 for non-members. No need to register, just show up! People of all genders welcome! . Often artists are asked to teach their medium, technique or craft, but have no experience in how to structure an effective workshop or course. This Boot Camp will present tools to help you impart what you know and will cover the virtues of setting the tone (ground rules), step-by-step learning, learning by example, hand-outs, PowerPoint and varying the rhythm of a workshop (teaching, doing together and doing independently). Teaching art workshops can be an important revenue stream for artists. Learn some skills in this area and increase your income! . Christine Brouzes is an experienced workshop leader. At MAWA, she has shared her passion for beading with experienced and first-time beaders alike. Brouzes is a civil servant who works with families and is the director at Ikwe Safe Ride. She is a former Red River College instructor and early childhood educator, and was a lead facilitator at a MMIWG national round table. She practises sharing information and skills through careful preparation and clear, respectful communication. . Presented in partnership with @mawawpg
