This is a class for the young artist. The class is focusing on all aspects of art. We will train the eye how to see as it related to direction of line, curves, form, shape, contrast, etc. We will learn how to look at something and draw it exactly. All projects will be finished in pencil, color pencil, or watercolor. Once the basics are learned, we will focus on design and composition. Students are to bring pictures they want to draw. All art supplies for this class are provided.

Painting mountains is all about creating greater depth in your artwork. You will learn about how to use color temperature (warm and cool) as well as the various types of edges to create that feeling. Since mountains are panoramic views, cut your paper more horizontal to enhance that feeling. You will create a sample painting in the first class. From there you can create your own landscape image from your photo references.

To create a more dynamic and fluid representation of a running creek, waterfall, or crashing waves, it’s essential to incorporate a blend of soft and hard edges along the waters contours. Experiment by twisting or dragging your brush along the edges to mimic the natural flow of water. Vary your brush’s speed and direction, allowing it to glide or whip across the canvas surface to capture the lively movement of the water. This piece is a month-long acrylic study that explores the vibrant beauty of a cascading waterfall, a meandering river, and the rhythmic dance of the ocean.

Thursdays 9:00-12:00
Using previously developed construction skills, students will produce either hand-built or wheel-thrown work and apply special glazes to their bisque-fired work PRIOR to each class. During class, those pieces will be fired quickly and students will then remove their work from the hot kiln while the glazes are still molten. They will then place their work into smoking chambers where the glazes will develop a serendipitous variety of surface and colored effects unique only to raku while rapidly cooling. In addition to regular raku glazing, students are encouraged to try naked raku, obvara, and horse-hair techniques as alternative choices to glazing for their surface patterns. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, glazes, and firing.

Wheel throwing attracts students who particularly like symmetrically round objects and challenges them to learn how to control the development of a particular form. The basic steps for throwing will be the focus for beginners, while more advanced students will be challenged by more complex forms and techniques, which will lead to all students achieving success through practice. Students will also explore the myriad ways to apply glazes. Bring your own tools or purchase a kit at the front desk. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, firing, and in-studio glazing.
