Beginner-Intermediate Potter's Wheel with Amanda Jane Crouse
Thursdays, March 13 - April 17 (5:30 - 7:30pm)
Students of varied experience levels will be working on the potter's wheel, learning how to center clay, make a cylinder, bowl and plate forms, and how to trim feet. Instructional demonstrations and hands-on lessons will cover basic utilitarian shapes. Students will be introduced to hand building techniques (slab construction, pinching, and coil building) to embellish their thrown vessels with decorative and functional elements like spouts, handles, and feet. Also covered, will be a variety of surface techniques to decorate pots. Students who complete this class will have all the knowledge of clay and glazes that they need to start their own practice at home or to join a community studio. Students who have already taken a pottery class are welcome to continue in order to improve their wheel skills, but this class is also for students with no prior pottery experience. Basic supplies are provided.

Exploring Drawing & Watercolor Techniques with Toni Carlucci
Thursdays, March 13 - April 17 (3:00 - 5:00pm)
Students will create a small handmade book of various techniques in both drawing and watercolor. One of the beauties and joys of painting with watercolor are the wondrous effects one can achieve using simple and fun techniques (wet-into-wet, glazing, thin-to thick brush strokes and many more!). Students will decide what imagery they'd like to use and which techniques to apply for the look they wish to create. These explorations will be fun and fabulous! Basic supplies are provided.

Stained Glass with Rae Toussaint
Thursdays, March 13 - March 27 (5:30 - 7:30pm)
Learn how to create a stunning stained glass panel using historical glass techniques! Through this three-week course, we will explore the creation of a stained glass panel from pattern to final piece. Participants will learn glass cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering, framing, and finishing. No previous experience required. All materials included.

Wood Carving: Hand Mirrors with Meredith Emery
Saturdays, March 15  - April 19 (2:00 - 4:00pm)
With an emphasis on hand carving methods, students in this class will shape and finish 1-2 hand held mirrors. All materials provided. This class is intended for wood workers of all levels of experience. Beginners welcome! 

Build a Brooch: Intro to Fine Metals with Shaunia Grant
Saturdays, March 15  - April 19 (2:00 - 4:00pm)
Using beginner skills of jewelry, students will create their own narrative brooch. Sawing, drilling, sanding, polishing, patina, and riveting will be taught in this course to help students reach their conceptual and aesthetic goals. Materials will be provided, but there will be some objects that students will be required to source themselves.
 
Relief Printmaking with Noah Lagle
Saturdays, March 15  - April 19 (2:00 - 4:00pm)
Relief printing (i.e. woodcut, linocut, etc.) is one of the oldest print mediums and among the simplest, technically. Raised areas on a block or plate (typically plywood, linoleum, or cintra) are constructed by physically cutting areas of the block away, creating a shallow “relief”. Using a brayer or roller, ink is rolled over the surface and is deposited only on the raised areas of the block. Paper or fabric is then placed onto the inked plate and printed via printing press, barren, or spoon. This is a studio course focused on the theory and practice of printmaking as an expressive medium. This class is for students with no prior printmaking experience up to the intermediate student, all are welcome.  Basic supplies are provided.  Some students may want to buy special paper for use in class.   

Acrylic Grisaille Painting with Lauren Adams
Tuesdays, March 25 - April 29 (5:30 - 7:30pm)
“Grisaille” is a monochromatic underpainting method that uses shades of gray or sepia to build the foundation for a painting. Using non-toxic acrylic paint we will explore this technique, along with using glazes to add color. This class is for students with no prior painting experience up to the intermediate student. Basic supplies are provided. Students must supply their own canvas or panel.

Stained Glass with Rae Toussaint
Thursdays, April 3 - April 17 (5:30 - 7:30pm)
Learn how to create a stunning stained glass panel using historical glass techniques! Through this three-week course, we will explore the creation of a stained glass panel from pattern to final piece. Participants will learn glass cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering, framing, and finishing. No previous experience required. All materials included.
