Let’s roll up our sleeves and get messy as we take a spin on the pottery wheel and learn to embrace the dynamic process of wheel-throwing! Together, we’ll discover proper wheel-throwing techniques to make simple dishware and kitchen gadgets, hone our focus and patience as we practice a new skill, and gain a newfound appreciation for the tools, skills, procedures, and materials that go into creating beautiful ceramic wares.

Flow is fluid movement that can be visible through elegant brushstrokes or a sequence of images.

Art of Paper
AGES 13–17
5 Sessions
Instructor: Heather Beardsley
Looking at work by contemporary artists that push the limits of what paper can do as a material, young artists will learn new techniques and ways of thinking about how paper can be used to make art. Through processes like cutting, bending, and piercing, we will create three-dimensional layered drawings and sculptures using paper as our primary medium!
M–F, July 17–21

Members $120; Nonmembers $135
Mask wearing inside the studios is encouraged, and masks may be required at the discretion of the instructor.
Cyanotypes
AGES 13–17
5 Sessions
Instructor: Heather Beardsley
When exposed to the sun, surfaces treated with the light-sensitive cyanotype solution reveal original prints in an intense shade of blue. The cyanotype process is simple, yet within that simplicity is ample room for experimentation! Together, we will go beyond images of plants and flowers on paper, as we learn to print images on other porous materials like fabric, stone, and wood using photo negatives, found objects, and hand-made sculptures.
M–F, July 24–28
9:00–11:45 AM
Members $120; Nonmembers $135
Mask wearing inside the studios is encouraged, and masks may be required at the discretion of the instructor.

Spend the week improving your drawing skills and experimenting with techniques that will take your drawings to the next level. Practice basics such as line quality, value, positive/negative space, perspective, and proportion, and try your hand at using nontraditional drawing media to bring your ideas to life!

Ceramics: Hand-building
AGES 13–17
10 Sessions
Instructor: Mary Anne Doty
Hand-building is the first and oldest ceramics technique that allows an artist to create forms by hand without using a throwing wheel. Together, we’ll tap into this ancient practice as we learn all about the various states of clay, create round and square vessels with lids, experiment with glazes to finish off our artworks, and more!
