Saturday Multi Age Clay Classes

This multi age class is the perfect opportunity for a couple of friends, couples or parent/grandparent and child to get your hands dirty and learn a new skill. Singles are encouraged and very welcome!  This will be a slab clay class, very different from the potter’s wheel. 

Week one you will learn how to roll the clay into a slab, add texture, and then form and assemble the mug.  You will also design and press a small snack plate.

Week two you will smooth out any imperfections, stamp your name on the bottoms and paint the two pieces. Each project will be hand painted with under glaze, fired, then fired a second time with a clear glaze to make each piece dish washer safe.

How to color mix and layer colors to create a still life painting of an object of the painter’s choice will also be taught. The subject for the still life will be a choice of fruit, vegetable, seashells and other items from nature.

Week one will include drawing on paper and paint drawing on canvas. Blocking in the first layer of color to cover all areas of the canvas.

Week two will focus more on color mixing and using medium.  All details and light areas will be finalized on the painting.

Adult Oil Painting Class - Landscape

As a seasoned painter, this class will give you the opportunity to learn from a different instructor and enjoy the company of other students in relaxed atmosphere.

This class is designed to help students execute a landscape of their choosing, focusing on composition, perspective, color mixing, and painting techniques. Students will use photographs or prints as source material for their painting. Each student will provide at least one picture to work from. The picture could be a photograph or calendar picture of a landscape. Group and individual instruction is given during each session.

Boho Wall Hanging

This new class will explore the Boho style and make a wall hanging from a variety of yarns. The Boho Style is a free-spirited aesthetic that mixes different cultures and artistic expressions into an eclectic style with an emphasis on organic elements and nature. Each student will select their color scheme for their wall hanging ahead of class.  Additional yarns will be available to mix into the wall hanging to create more variety of color and texture. The Wall hanging will measure approximately 4 feet wide and 3 feet in height. Each student will create their own unique ascetic in this wall hanging.
