July 27–30, 2–5 p.m. FACULTY: Dove Drury Hornbuckle TUITION COST: $205 This workshop presents participants with the opportunity to create uniquely designed wallmounted mosaics. It will include a beginner’s guide to ceramic materials and processes including clay bodies, underglazing, studio tool use, and safety protocols. Participants will use ceramics made within the studio as well as ceramics brought from home to construct mosaic artworks. This workshop will also focus on techniques for glaze application and surface treatments.
Engaging Hands: Patchwork Quilt Workshop DATES : Tuesday–Friday,
August 3–6, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. FACULTY: Christalena Hughmanick TUITION COST: $185
This workshop investigates the democratic nature of quilting through its culture of open-source pattern sharing and group work. The inherently social practice lends itself to conversations about its multicultural history and current pattern migration among international groups of quilters. We will explore technical ways in which hand-stitching fabric can create a two-dimensional image or design. Methods include structural construction through fabric piecing and surface embellishment techniques of embroidery, appliqué, and topstitching. Work created will be sample-based, but necessary techniques to complete a quilt will be covered. All sewing levels are welcome, and collaboration among students will be possible.
Observation & Invention in Painting DATES : Tuesday–Friday, August
10–13, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. FACULTY: Jasper Goodrich TUITION COST: $185
This en plein air landscape painting class focuses on the difference between painting outdoors and in the studio. We will focus on oil painting techniques, but all painting/ drawing media are welcome. Students will learn about mixing techniques, different media, and the basics of painting outdoors in both traditional and nontraditional ways. We will work on multiple surfaces at once—one can act as the main painting surface, while others can be used for oil sketches, washes that reflect the emotion of the landscape, and other abstract ways of filtering stimuli. Back in the studio space, we will add details, large swaths of color, and other changes, investigating the outcomes of variations in speed and location. This class emphasizes the structure of images and how changes in stimuli can affect the outcome of a painting.
2-DAY WEEKEND ART INTENSIVES
These workshops include lunch at 1 p.m.
The Building Blocks of Bookmaking DATES : Saturday–Sunday, June 26–27, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. FACULTY: Honore Lee TUITION COST: $205
This workshop will introduce students to a range of folding techniques to create multiple-page books from a single sheet of paper. After experimenting with the variety of methods to create the book structure, students will be encouraged to explore ways to alter the structure to support the book’s content. We will discuss the relationship between form and content, along with media through which to express meaning within the book form. Media will include collage, drawing, wet media, printmaking, and text. Practical, accessible tools and techniques will be discussed throughout the workshop.
