Botanical Notecards: Focus on Leaves Develop skills in close observation through short drawing and toning exercises. Discover traditional botanical watercolor techniques and employ loose washes for a more contemporary botanical image. Cards provided by instructor. Mixed Media Surface Design The key to creating dynamic mixed media work is layering. The layering process adds depth, dimension, and detail to your artwork. In this three-hour workshop, you will be introduced to both basic and advanced mixed media surface design. Using gesso, acrylic paint and mediums, ink, and collage, we will be building up a surface step-by-step with techniques that create both actual and visual texture. Pinhole Photography Workshop Using an ultra-small aperture (pinhole) instead of a lens to capture images harks back to the days of making exposures on big glass plates. Often done with simple homemade film cameras, it’s a great medium for people who enjoy building their own tools and working hands-on. This versatile analog process creates unique and often unex pected results while encouraging a thoughtful and adventurous camera approach. What Makes a Picture Book Tick? Ever wonder what goes into a successful picture book? How are today’s hits similar to the classics— and how do they differ? What three common mistakes should you avoid? Is self-publishing a good option? Have your questions answered by two professionals! An experienced editor and a published author-illustrator explain concepts that are vital to your success, whether you are an author, illustrator, or want to do both.

ARCHITECT URE Quality Façade Restorations in Your Downtown Downtowns and Main Street Districts throughout New York City and New York State are filled with wonderful historic buildings. These Main Streets are very special places worth preserving. The unique and special architecture of these existing buildings and the sense of place they help create are perhaps the most critical physical design feature in all our villages and towns. Preservation, restoration rehabilitation, and quality adaptive re-use of these historic buildings on our Main Streets and downtown areas are absolutely critical to the revitalization process. This course will focus on the very important role that historic buildings play in the revitalization of our Main Streets.
