Adults will be able to choose two of the following classes:
Glass fusion — Learn to use glass shaping tools to make an ornament or pendant. Glass properties and basic design concepts will also be taught.
Printmaking — Participants will be introduced monotype printmaking while exploring brushwork, image transfer, ghost images, stencils and unique tools on the printmaking press.
Figure drawing — Working from a clothed model, attendees will learn various portrait drawing techniques while sketching poses using either charcoal or colored pencils
Ceramics — Learn how to make mugs, cups, vases from clay slabs with introductory hand building techniques.
While adults are sampling the art making process, kids will be tooting their own horns while making unique and working musical instruments with art supplies and recycled finds. They’ll compose clic clacs, hand drums, shakers, and more.
Leave an Impression
Using craft foam, bubble wrap, toys, rollers, and paint, tots will experiment with different textures and materials to leave impressions and create one-of-a-kind prints.

Students will have an opportunity to explore with their new knowledge of printmaking by developing mixed media works using a combination of print methods and drawing media.
Creative Printmaking on Fabric
During this one day workshop, students will learn how to make fun, unique patterns on cotton scarves using everyday objects. We will learn a bit about screen print ink and how to use them. Then, we will stretch our minds to the possibility of patterns! Feathers, yarn, cups, and plants are only some of the unexpected items we will use to create these patterns. Students will leave with some beautiful fabric and a newfound appreciation for kitchen utensils.
