Biography

Councilor Woods passionately believes that there are creative opportunities to attract and sustain businesses in District 1. He is a strong advocate for rebuilding communities by implementing effective and sustainable economic and educational opportunities. He believes that strengthening the schools will play a significant role in reversing the negative trend of residents leaving the city. “We must fight to create safe communities, where our children can get a quality education, and our families have access to quality businesses.” Woods possesses a unique skill set and believes he can play an integral role in achieving this vision.

Woods serves on the advisory board for Mission Increase Central AL, which is a non-profit organization that provides free fundraising and organizational training to non-profit organizations throughout central Alabama. Mission Increase has been impactful in building the non-profit community throughout the country and Councilor Woods is excited about what Mission Increase can accomplish in Birmingham.

In this fun and interactive class by Kat Murray & Hannah Lewis, young artists will dive into the world of printmaking through hands-on projects. We’ll kick off with a playful activity—shading a page and using an eraser to create imaginative designs, sparking creativity. Students will then explore scratchboard techniques to introduce the foundations of printmaking. From there, they’ll sketch their favorite flowers and bugs, transfer those designs onto printing blocks, and learn how to carve and print their creations. By the end of the class, each student will have a beautiful collection of nature-inspired prints to take home. Artists Bio: Kat Murray and Hannah Lewis bring a wealth of experience and diverse skills to their co-teaching partnership. Kat holds an MFA in Printmaking from the University of Alabama and a BS in Fine Arts from the University of Montevallo.
