Still life Painting in Oils with Marc Chatov - Through painting the still-life, one can acquire the knowledge of ‘painting basics’. They apply to all painting and drawing in dealing with composition, value, and application of paint.

Sculpting Animals
Demonstration and technical instruction related to various clay hand-building techniques will be provided as you create your own animal sculptures. We will discuss gesture and features that breathe life into the work, experiment with using found objects and discuss surface treatments and finishing techniques. Emphasis will be on creating narrative and personal expression in your individual pieces.
Short Term Resident Artist Series: Clay to Canvas
From Clay to Canvas is a 4-day workshop focusing on sgraffito techniques on a rich red clay canvas. Sgraffito, a method involving carving or scratching through layers to reveal the clay beneath, will be the primary focus. This class is suitable for seasoned beginners, intermediates, and advanced students experienced in working with clay. Participants will independently create forms through wheel throwing or hand building, emphasizing sgraffito by layering vibrant underglazes and slips and drawing on the clay surface. While the primary focus is sgraffito, the workshop will also cover advanced hand-trimming techniques, scoring, smoothing, and intuitive form refinement.
Class meets:
Nov 5th, 7th, 12th, and 14th
