Marin Art Experience: Make Art in Sausalito with Bibby Gignilliat

Marin Art Experience: Make Art in Sausalito with Bibby Gignilliat

We share many ideas about the best outdoor things to do in Marin County near our Marin Hotels, so this week we’re switching it up and going inside. Specifically to wonderful Marin artist Bibby Gignilliat’s art studio in the super cool ICB building in Sausalito.

Bibby has a spacious, light-filled studio in this historic artist-filled building and she shares it with anyone who wants to learn to make art with her during her regularly scheduled or private mixed media workshops and classes.

These sessions are a perfect activity for a unique date in Marin, a friend/family/coworker activity, or of course a solo pursuit. You will leave the class with a finished piece of art, some fancy art words like Mixed Media, and a new friend in Bibby.

“Let me help ignite that creativity in you by coming out to play in a mixed media workshop.”

About Bibby: she is one of the friendliest, most encouraging, happiest, positive people we have ever met! Your light will shine brighter after spending time with her. Her studio is inspirational and chock-a-block with all the materials you can imagine to make your own art.

And ANYONE can do this! No experience required!! Really it’s more like playtime than a “class”. It is pretty much guaranteed that you are going to walk out of Bibby’s studio feeling great.

Have a look at upcoming classes and workshops here. If you want a private session you can contact Bibby here.

See you out there!
