Laguna Art-a-Fair showcases 20 different art workshops with 62 dates to choose from throughout the summer months . Sessions are open to those age 16 and older ( ages 12-15 are permitted if accompanied by a parent or guardian ) and no experience is necessary . Classes focus on acrylic painting and pouring , paper collage , watercolor and oil painting , photo editing , jewelry making , pine needle basket weaving and more .
CREATIVE CLASSES The city of Laguna Beach also offers art classes and workshops available to the public at various price points during the summer and beyond . Among these is Drawing and Watercolor ( for adults at the beginner and intermediate level ) with Bobbi Boyd , who provides step-by-step instruction on how to draw and paint flowers , trees and ocean waves with ease .
In addition , the city ’ s Knitting Salon with Judith Cortes allows participants to start or finish their own project or receive instruction on a new piece in a collaborative environment . And for those who would like a studiotype environment to focus on their own projects — from painting to pastels or mixed media — Art Salon provides a quiet setting to work in the company of others ; students bring their own materials and no instruction is provided . The summer session is winding down , but these will all be offered in fall as well .
