Do you wish you could make something cool and beautiful but don’t know where to start? Maybe you want to create a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry or make an original linoleum block print. Brad Golden can help you with that. He’s now offering hands-on classes in several media, from torch-fired enameling to silver sandcasting to gel plate making and more.
“These workshops are about helping people slow down and engage with making something tangible,” Golden said. “Many participants come in unsure of their abilities, and they leave having learned a new skill and completed a piece they can take home.”
You can find Golden’s upcoming class offerings on his website, bradgolden.com. The classes are held at Studios on the Park (1130 Pine St., Paso Robles).
“We’re seeing strong interest from locals who are looking for in-person, screen-free creative experiences,” Golden added.
The nonprofit Studios on the Park is “dedicated to providing a creative, educational, and transformational experience to enhance understanding and appreciation of the visual arts,” its mission statement explains. “Studios on the Park realizes its commitment by making the creative process available to the public.” Δ
Paso Robles Artist Teaching Jewelry And Printmaking Workshops
Workshops at local arts center guide participants through completed projects
Paso Robles artist Brad Golden is offering a series of hands-on art and jewelry-making workshops at Studios on the Park, providing adults with in-person instruction focused on learning practical creative skills.
Golden, a local artist and educator, is leading workshops designed for beginners that cover techniques including silver jewelry, linoleum block printing, and creative design. Participants complete a finished piece during each session and receive step-by-step instruction throughout the process.
“These workshops are about helping people slow down and engage with making something tangible,” Golden said. “Many participants come in unsure of their abilities, and they leave having learned a new skill and completed a piece they can take home.”
Although the workshops take place in Paso Robles, participants attend from across San Luis Obispo County, as well as from Santa Barbara and Monterey Counties. Organizers said attendees include local residents and visitors seeking in-person creative learning opportunities.
Studios on the Park, a nonprofit arts center located in downtown Paso Robles, hosts the workshops as part of its mission to provide arts education and support community engagement.
Upcoming sessions are open to adults of all experience levels. Seating is limited due to space constraints and the instructional format.
The workshops are held at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles. Registration information and schedules are available at BradGolden.com.
Golden is a Paso Robles–based artist and educator with nearly 30 years of professional experience in visual arts, design, and fabrication. He teaches hands-on workshops for adults that focus on skill development, craftsmanship, and creative confidence.
