Art and Coffee Club at the Belknap Mill Museum

LACONIA, NH: The Belknap Mill has launched a series of workshops designed to bring out the artist lurking in everyone. For several months, Adrianna Antonopoulos, a local artist and business owner, has been hosting free mixed media drop-in sessions for Laconia locals to explore collage, pastels, watercolors, and more. These free workshops will continue to be held at the Museum on Thursday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Antonopoulos sees herself as more of a muse and facilitator than an expert or teacher.  “I enjoy building a creative space with a community of artists who can inspire each other.”  She exudes warmth and enthusiasm that helps participants take some risks, try new media, and most important, have fun expressing themselves.

Antonopoulos’s education and experience has prepared her to work with artists of all ages and experience levels.  At Maine College of Art, she studied sculpture, painting, 2D design, graphics, photography, and ceramics.  She has worked with pre-school and elementary students as well as high school learners and adults.  She has created theatrical sets for Lakes Region Theater, and had her sculpture featured in numerous galleries in New England and abroad.  She is truly a Renaissance woman!
