SpeleoArt Workshop 2017 at NSS Convention, Rio Rancho, NM

The mission for the SpeleoArt Workshop is to provide a starting point for continuing inspiration to enter artwork into the annual Salons. The workshops are run by volunteers, and equipment with materials are paid for by the class fees which is how we keep them so low!

Fees can either be paid at time of your registration or you can pay on site. If you pay through Registration, please bring a receipt to class, or you may find yourself paying twice!

The last day is Collaborative Day. The focus will be for cavers to come together to work on one piece that celebrates this year’s Convention experience. A long prepared canvas will be placed in the Salon area on a large table at the beginning of the week. It can be worked on by anyone who wishes to join in! You do not have to be an artist! The subject will be your most significant memories from your caving trips and an exploitation of the skills you learn in the morning tutorial. The expectation is that the day will provide enough time for everyone to finish the artwork. Materials provided.
