Short Summary

My name is Otilia Kocsis and I'm a Patras (Greece) located artist, who is mainly inspired by the Mediterranean landscape beauty. My usual medium is the watercolor on paper, and although from time to time I do experiment other media too, you can get an idea about my watercolors on my Watercolor Gallery web site.

I volunteered to teach a 30 weeks workshop (1 session of 2 hours per week, ) in watercolor painting to retired women (aged over 60 years old) at one of the community centers in my city (Patras, Greece). The workshop is foreseen as 1 session of 2 hours per week, it will start in September 2014 and will end in June 2015. The number of ladies expected to attend in the first group is about 15 (10 already confirmed).

The community center has space and infrastructure (room to host the workshop, furniture, etc) to support the project, but there are no any funds to support with the necessary materials, like watercolor paper, paints, brushes, sketch blocks, pencils, etc. Due to the crisis, it is almost impossible to find any governmental support for this workshop. Also, I cannot afford to pay these by myself, thus I am trying to find alternative ways to raise the necessary funds.

All the money raised will be spent to get the necessary materials for the workshop. If more than the target amount is raised, they will be used either to have a second workshop group, or to continue with the group for another 30 weeks (September 2015 to June 2016).


What We Need

The funding schema for this project is flexible, and we shall start the project with any funds we manage to get for the beginning, hopping we will get more on the way. To give you an idea of what materials are needed for the workshop, we have established some value-dependent kits and needs that they cover. The milestones gives you an idea about how the project will be implemented with the raised funds.
