Learn metalworking and metal sculpture design over the course of four evenings. Students will use MIG welders, oxygen/acetylene torches, plasma cutters, grinders, shapers, and cut-off tools to bend, shape, or mold ideas into art.
Workshop
Mosaics
Assembling small pieces of colored glass, stone, and other materials, students will learn how to design, choose color, form lines, and shape a decorative piece of art.
Due to drying and firing times, glass will be ready to pick up 12-14 days after the class session is finished.
Figure Drawing Intensive
This three-day intensive workshop is designed for those interested in the human figure. Students will learn techniques to represent the human body accurately while concentrating on proportions, volumes, body landmarks, and gesture. The course is open to everyone 18+ and a materials list for students to purchase will be provided.
Watercolor Workshop
Over the course of two full days, students will learn how to draw their subject, mix and mingle colors, and utilize light and shadow to create form and paint a watercolor portrait. $200 covers the workshop and material, but lunch is not included.
Open Studio Evening
An event designed to satisfy “curiARTsity” and explore the creative process. Participants will be able to sign up for two classes. The first class is chosen upon arrival, and sign ups for the second class will be available after the first class. Registration for both classes are first come, first served. While we want people to be able to take the class of their choice, we also want to expose them to types of art making they might not have considered. It’s similar to being devoted to a literary genre, but one day getting a strong recommendation to read a book in a completely different category and loving it. Sometimes we don’t know what we’ll enjoy until we try it. Demonstrations from teachers, all art materials, hors d’oeuvres, and personalized instruction are all included. A cash bar is also available. Doors open at 6:00 PM for class sign up.
Note: 2 options will be offered during each time block. Each registered guest will participate in a total of 2 classes.
