All skill levels welcome! Learn the tricks of success for making clay objects on the wheel. If you have never thrown before this is the best class to learn the basics of the potter’s wheel. Students are welcome to practice their skills for improvement. We will start with cups and bowls for students to gain confidence on the wheel. As students advance, they can come up with their own sculptural wheel thrown designs. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 12-14 days after the class session is finished.

Magic Hour Lighting: Photography Techniques
The Focus of this workshop will be to master natural light and use it to your advantage in your photographs to create an image you are proud of! The workshop will begin with in classroom instruction with new tools and techniques that you can use when we go out in the field to shoot. As this is a multi-day class, we will debrief in the beginning of each class where we will review and critique together the work done the evening before. We will then head out into the field to shoot during Magic hour through Sunset. Understanding and using ambient light is the most important tool to create amazing landscapes. The class will be held in the evening in order for students to practice their new skills in the best possible light.
Rebekah believes in a “learn by doing” approach as the best way to grow as a photographer. In the field, Rebekah will answer questions and solve problems as they arise while you are shooting. She will take you to some of her favorite spots for beautiful evening landscapes in and around the Park City area. Please bring a tripod and filters if you have them.
Mosaics 101 & 201 Workshop
Learn all you have ever wanted to know about mosaics. This class is meant for both beginners and experienced students. All materials and tools are provided to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece made of glass you have nipped yourself. We learn how to design, choose color, form the lines and shape the end in a fantastic piece of art. Beginners work on a project that will be on a shape of your choosing (shrine, heart, crown is my favorite). By the end of class you will be confident in all the skills needed to create art in this medium. Returning students will work on their own custom personal project, and are welcome to personally consult Katherine with their ideas and design (email us for Katherine’s contact details). A wonderful class for both beginners and experts to explore the mosaic medium!
Sculptural Welding for Anyone
Whether you have taken sculptural welding before or this is your first time, you are sure to have fun and love metal sculpture by the end of this class. Students will have the opportunity to learn the basics of metalworking and metal sculpture design. We will be using MIG welders, Oxygen/Acetylene torches, Plasma Cutters, Grinders, Shapers, Cut-off tools, and anything we can find laying around to bend, shape or mold our ideas into art. We encourage students to think about projects they may want to build and to keep an eye open for found metal pieces to use in their sculptures before class begins. This is a fun course for beginners and intermediate metalworkers. The first night of class will review safety and proper use of equipment. For the other 5 classes, students will work with the instructor based on their knowledge of welding to develop their projects (returning students can dive into other projects, while beginning students will work on simple projects to start). If you have ever seen sparks flying and wondered what those folks were doing, this class will answer your questions and give you the metalworking itch, guaranteed! *Any additional metal that students wish to purchase for special projects can be purchased separately by the student.
