Learn the basics of glass fusion while creating one of a kind glass projects in class. We will explore the use of tools used to shape and form glass. Properties and types of glass will be discussed, as well basic design concepts, resulting in the completion of several finished projects. Class will cover the use of reactive glasses, the use of frit, rod, and dichroic to create patterns in glass and the use of inclusions in glass such as silver foil. Cold working techniques will be demonstrated to put a finishing touch on the fused glass piece. This class is for beginners and intermediate students continuing their practice in glass fusion. Due to slumping and firing times, glass pieces will be ready for pick up 12-14 days after class has ended.

Wheel Throwing for Teens II
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 also 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 are welcome to come up with their own sculptural wheel thrown designs. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 10-12 days after the class session is finished.
Digital Photography for Teens
Students learn about in-camera control. Learn about the functions in your camera while in automatic and manual settings. Each day students show photographs on a projector and then discuss new techniques. Students go out in the field and take photos with the instructor during class exploring beautiful Park City. Students will either walk to local destinations, or will take city transit to visit the White Barn or other picturesque places. Students will have a small collection of photographs that tell a story by the last day of class, plus the skills and knowledge to continue on their own. This is a great way to have students learn to take awesome summer photos. No cell phone cameras, please.

Students will learn to see what an artist sees, exploring positive and negative space, values, color theory, and composition. This class is open to any skill level and can serve as a review of the basics or a confidence booster for beginners! Students will walk away from class with more experience and confidence to continue painting on their own.
Shadowbox Worlds for Teens
Teens will think outside the box, and inside the box! Students have fun creating 3-dimensional worlds in shadow boxes. A diorama is magical because it tells a story about the artist. Students will pick a theme (i.e. a dream, a movie, a painter, or a place) and using papers and collage materials, will learn how to layer and create perspective inside their mini worlds. Big imaginations are required for this class!
