“Shake It Up” - Watercolor: Light & Shadow with Tara Holl

April 24  - June 5 (7 weeks) | Monday, 10:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m.| Virtual

We will revisit and utilize many watercolor techniques. However, we will “shake it up” by incorporating these techniques with collage and a bit of mixed media. Color theory will be important in our explorations! We will spend some time getting to know masking fluid and other ways to support white and negative space in our work. No experience is required. Just bring an open mind and heart!

Join us for a fun clay-filled journey for students of all levels! This session we will concentrate on throwing on the wheel. Centering and throwing mugs, bowls, and plates will be introduced. We will also learn how to alter round pots to transform them into other shapes. Those who have previously learned hand-building techniques are welcome to continue, but the emphasis of instruction will be on throwing.

Intro to Improv with Tavish Forsyth

May 2 - June 13 (7 weeks) | Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.| Virtual

This class is an exploration of improv. Improv is unscripted theater and comedy. It is about moment-to-moment discovery and flexibility. It’s also extraordinarily fun! In this class, students will learn to be confident, creative, and collaborative by finding potential in what is readily available.

Creating in the Present - Mindfulness-Based Art with Glennis Muldoon

April 25 - June 13 (8 weeks) | Tuesday, 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.| Hybrid

Mindfulness is the purposeful, non-judgmental practice of paying attention to the present moment. Art can be a meaningful tool to help us build and deepen our connection to ourselves, our environment, and each other which can improve overall well-being. Throughout this hybrid course, students will learn and practice mindfulness skills and apply them to different creative projects each time we meet. Students of any art-making and mindfulness experience are welcome. 

Note: The first 5 classes will be online. The final 3 classes will be held in person. In the event of cancellations for in-person classes due to inclement weather, classes will be held online. Students will be notified of changes in advance.
