Classes
Saturday, July 13: Intro to Mono and Intaglio Printing with Celia Buchanan
Learn how to create unique monoprints using gel plates and acrylic paints. The beauty of this medium lies in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting, and drawing techniques. You can create both subtle and bold forms, shading, and texture using dry point and abrasion techniques. Intaglio is an etching method that uses plexiglass plates without the use of hazardous chemicals. In this class, you will use water mixable inks that are safe and do not require harsh solvents.
Saturday-Sunday, July 20-21: Ash Splint Harvest and Basketmaking with Brendan Gaffney
In this two-day workshop, learn to harvest ash splint for basketry and weave a small “square-to-round” ash basket. Beginning with sections of a log, we will learn how to shave and pound billets of ash into raw splint, further refine and divide the spine into weaving material, and learn the fundamentals of plaited basketry.
Saturday and Sunday, August 3-4: Spoon Carving Start to Finish with Charlie Downs
In this two day immersive greenwood carving class, students will be introduced to the carving axe. We'll process raw material into carving blanks, sketch a general plan view of the spoon, and cut out our spoon blank. From there, final axe cuts will be made, paving the way to knife work.
Saturday, September 14: Watercolor Painting with Quinacridone Colors with Donna Fenstermaker
Capturing fall color in all its vibrancy can be challenging. Discover how you can bring fall colors to life—and expand your repertoire of art skills—by mixing and layering quinacridone colors.
