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.

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.

Painting landscapes in the Impressionistic style is so rewarding because it is loose, colorful and fun to paint. Using the Smokey Mountains as the 1st class subject, your sample painting will incorporate various techniques in brush strokes, broken color and color theory. After that, you can apply what you’ve learned to your next painting from your landscape photo references.
