Winter Classes
Jenny Dowd
I’ve been taking a bit of a break to recharge - it was needed because all of a sudden I can’t wait to work in the studio and start teaching classes again!
Already a lot is happening in the studio (new stuff coming soon!) and classes begin this week at the Art Association.
Clay Surfaces: Color, Glaze & Pattern
Jan 10 - Feb 7 | 11:30am - 2pm
This class will cover lots of surface techniques - texture & stamping as well as the many ways to use underglaze and slip: sgraffito, inlay & mishima, stencils, transfers, wax etching… This class is the place to find or enhance your style!
Monotype, Chine-collé, and Hand-sewn Techniques
2 different sessions:
Learn the basics of monotype printmaking, a process that can be quick or layered. We will explore techniques to make marks using an etching press as well as techniques that you can do at home without a press.
Monotypes are one-time prints that I find truly special and sometimes haunting. Whether you love to draw & paint or are a little intimidated by paper - you will make interesting designs, patterns, and images that are exciting and one-of-a-kind.
We will also add to the layers of our prints with chine-collé and collage techniques.
Daytime Beginning Throwing
2 different sessions:
Feb 14 - March 21 | 11:30am - 2pm
April 18 - May 23 | 11:30am - 2pm
How does a lump of clay become a mug? Learn all the basics in this daytime throwing class. It will be awkward and messy at first, but you’ll have something you can eat out of by the end of the class!
Drawing Topics
2 different sessions:
I think that drawing is a really important way to communicate. Whether you are doodling while waiting or are giving someone instructions that need a little visual component or you desire to make a realistic drawing of an object - drawing is useful. Learn confidence during this 4-week class as we work through the basics and a variety of techniques to get you started to brush up your skills.
