Workshops
Over, Under, In and Out
Commercial Underglaze Workshop with Jeanie Silver This is a busy, hands-on workshop designed to help you learn what commercial underglazes are, what they do, and how you can use them. All commercial underglazes are not the same! We will have three brands for you to test on small dishes we will provide. You can also bring two bisque pieces to glaze. You will learn what an underglaze is and what each kind can do. Some are adaptable while others are limited in temperature and in how they are applied. The workshop will show you how to choose the right one for your clay work. register now >
The Art of Shibori with Jeanie Silver
Learn the ancient art of Shibori, a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique dating back longer than any other fabric dyeing method. The word Shibori comes from the Japanese root “shiboru,” meaning “to wring, squeeze, press.” In Shibori, fabric patterns are made by binding, stitching, folding, twisting, compressing, dyeing, and then releasing the binding pressure to reveal the design. The original Shibori techniques were ancestral, handed down exclusively within Japanese artisan families... register now >
All About Design with Nancy Barch
Let’s work on making the design element in your paintings more unifying. Whether you create reality-based images or non-representational abstractions you need to have a strong composition to make your work stand out. Focusing on design and not subject matter will be our goal for the day... register now >
Painting "Painterly" From a Photo Reference with Dan Graziano
This two-day studio workshop will focus on painting “alla prima” (all at once) as well as developing greater skills of observation, simplification and quickly painting “wet on wet” to create strong “painterly” paintings. The workshop will also discuss techniques to quickly transfer the important elements of a reference photo to the canvas, creating an artistic painting rather than simply rendering a photograph. The first morning of the workshop begins with a discussion of oil painting basics (from materials to paint handling) and will also address the fundamentals of color, value, edges, perspective and other “practical” elements related to successful painting. Participants will then work on a series of timed painting exercises incorporating the techniques discussed and developing their skills of observation, simplification and quickly working in an “alla prima” manner... register now >
