Introduction to Bronze Casting DATES: Tuesday, June 7–Friday,
June 10, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. FACULTY: Brent Harris TUITION COST: $235 We will explore the basics of sculpting through lost-wax bronze casting. Students will work directly in wax to create a small, sculptural work of art. The works will be invested and burned out in a furnace to make ready to cast in molten bronze. We will
work as a group to help set up the foundry, melt the bronze, and pour the works. Through handson processes and instructor-led demonstrations, students will learn the finishing techniques and patinas that will bring their bronze sculptures to life.
Watercolor for the Fearful DATES: Tuesday, June 21–Friday,

And how does one correct mistakes? Learn the theory and practice of transparent watercolor. Develop control of the basic techniques that allow you to realize your creative vision.
