Classes & Workshops

Part of our Photography Resident Artist Series, this course focuses on the landscape photographer who has a basic understanding of camera function, composition, and post processing.

A three-day intensive, hands-on workshop for participants to sculpt an animal of their choice utilizing basic hand building techniques.

Create paintings using three principles: line, tone and color.  We will begin with a simple still life drawing on canvas followed by demonstrations and discussions of tone (the lights and darks that build depth) and then introduce color.

A 3-day landscape photography course for intermediate-level photographers* including two days in the classroom and one day in the field.

Turn beautiful and functional items from wood. We will develop the skills necessary to turn beads, coves, and straight cuts.

This workshop will focus on key solutions to issues many artists struggle with, mixing clean color, seeing light and dark values correctly, and designing interesting compositions.

Historically, masks have been used in theatre for centuries for plays and special performances. The Covid-19 global pandemic then required us to wear a different type of mask daily, and many people became comfortable hiding behind their masks. Let’s get back to the more fun and dramatic types of masks used in plays and performances, and create some alter egos!

This course will be a study in image making in low light. This condition may be indoors, at dusk and dawn and at night. We will concentrate on with some ambient light and conditions with very little light.

Participants in this 3-day, hands-on workshop will learn about and create sculptural forms with function for individual wall pieces or installations.

In this workshop, we will explore techniques to paint smarter (not harder), to see better, and to eliminate confusing mental thoughts that might hamper your creative process.
