A two day discussion of alternative ways to modify wheel-based clay forms, using handbuilding techniques to create form and texture. Demonstrations will include on- and off-wheel fluting and faceting, square and oval forms (including lids), darting, and stamping as pathways to created works that reflect the hand of the maker rather than the limits of the forming tool (the potter’s wheel).

BACK TO SPRUILL CREATIVE DESIGN IN GRISAILLE NEW! You can create powerful artwork by developing essential design skills in this 3-day Intensive Workshop with Nancy. A strong design is the first stage of any successful painting. By mastering your intuitive design process with solid technique you will take your vision to the next level. This process applies to designing any genre: portrait, figure, landscape, or still life. We cultivate MAPPING SKILLS to enhance your perception and the ability to organize complexity into simple shapes used to design a composition. In the next stage we develop your DESIGN INTUITIVELY. We create exciting relationships and dynamic balance in an abstract design as we organize dark and light shapes into a strong design (Notan). Through this intuitive process you will transform the ordinary into the extraordinary: your own unique composition. We study the amazing concept of GRISAILLE, a value-based monochrome painting technique often used to lay-in the first stage of an oil painting. Yet when refined, a Grisaille painting will stand as a beautiful, captivating work of art. We explore the differences between an Open and a Closed Grisaille painting, and learn techniques to handle paint effectively. You will leave this workshop with insight that empowers you to approach design from a more creative perspective, and with valuable new painting skills. Also, you will take home a Closed Grisaille study of your own unique composition that can serve as the basis for a full-color painting to be done independently.

PRINTMAKING GET TO KNOW PRINTMAKING NEW! Printmaking is a great medium for simplifying shapes and colors for bold images with maximum impact. You can create one design and then vary the image by using daubs of color and different papers. You’ll learn how to plan a linocut design, use tools to carve the image, and print the image. Apply what you have learned to artwork that’s suitable for framing and original greeting cards.

TEEN DRAWING & PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT - AGES 12-19 A progressive drawing class focused on teenage artists of all levels and an excellent choice for high school AP Studio & Portfolio Preparation students who need to develop their work, focus their skills and are looking to experiment in their portfolios. It is highly recommended for junior and senior high school students. Students work in a projectbased format to create 3 & 4 dimensional drawings! The basic tenets/principals of drawing and rendering are incorporated within the process & each project moves students further along in their development. Initially we work mostly from photos theirs or instructor provided. Beginner to intermediate students work with grids to ensure they understand & can create proportional perspective. We will work large (18x24), initially in graphite/charcoal (vine & compressed) to build a good understanding of value, then we move onto color. Classes are progressive, students can join at any time, and each successive session builds upon the last. See www.spruillarts.org for a list of supplies you will need to bring to class.
