Join us in the studio with exhibiting artist, Giselle Hicks! This one day workshop will focus on a fundamental clay forming technique: coil and pinch. This way of building can be used to make hand-built vessels or sculptural forms. Giselle will demonstrate her technique for making simple and complex forms with hand rolled coils and a banding wheel. Students will have the opportunity to learn her delicate technique and make their own coil and pinched forms as well.
Get excited for spring by bringing some greenery and creativity into your life! Come create fun planters that are uniquely your own. Students will hand build their planters and explore surface decoration on the first two classes, glaze on the third, and plant them with succulents or cacti on the last day of class! All skill levels welcome. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready for pick up 10-12 days after class has ended.
Students will explore art with a variety of different mediums and techniques to diversify their creativity. We will focus on learning the basics of sculpture, printmaking, painting, and weaving. Kids will learn about 2D and 3D shapes, create sculpture fossils, carve blocks for printmaking, and make colorful weavings in this creative class!
Are you a cat person, or a dog person? This class will surely find out! Students will use a variety of techniques and mediums to create a collection of cat and dog art, in honor of their favorite feline friends and puppy pals. Each student chooses to focus on either cats or dogs to inspire their art! Kids will make a sculpture of a cat or dog that doubles as a bowl to keep small treasures using clay. We will also make paper mache masks, and carve stamps of your favorite pets. Have fun celebrating your favorite pets through art!
This class explores various art media including painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, clay and fine craft. Students develop a knowledge of art processes, how to explore and experiment on their own, and learn art techniques to improve their ability. Some projects may span more than one class meeting and students may have fun creative homework. This class is for students who are 7 – 10 years of age only.
Get in the spirit of Dia de los Muertos and learn how to make traditional Mexican style sugar skulls out of clay with your family. Kristen will show students examples of classic designs to help students carve and add painted detail to their clay mask sculptures. Kids and adults alike will get creative in designing their sugar skull. Bring your imagination, we’ll have the tools to help you create! Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 7-10 days after the class session is finished.
