Visiting artist Clayton Keyes will provide students with a simple and effective approach to rendering the human form in clay. Over the course of two days artists will learn construction of the head, torso, arms, and hands. Hot and cold finishes to provide alluring, sensual, and even sexy surfaces are also a focus.

Leap Day Bookbinding
We’re taking a leap back in time, to a world before Kindles and digital reading to make a real book with paper, glue, board, and thread. In this class you will learn basic coptic binding skills and take home your book made from upcycled book covers and a selection of unique papers, threads, and embellishments.
Materials provided but feel free to bring in any old books, maps, paper, etc. that you would like to use.

In this whimsical, fun-filled, anyone-can-do it workshop, create your own one-of-a kind wrapping paper, bags, tags, and boxes for the holidays – or any days.
Upcycle shipping cartons, butcher paper, recycled greeting cards, Kraft paper, newsprint and more as you transform your gifts into personalized, show-stopping keepsakes, guaranteed to bring “oohs” and “ahhs” under the tree!
Weekend Workshop with Visiting Artist Quinn Maher
This workshop will consist of demonstrations and dialog centered on functional objects. We will focus on “basic” pottery forms made with the potter’s wheel. Demos will include wheel throwing, trimming on and off the wheel, and techniques such as pulling hands, making lids, building spouts and applying slip. We will focus on bringing your ideas/sketches to life and creating forms with a purpose.
Due to drying and firing times, all clay pieces will be available for pick up 12-14 days after the last class session.
