SUMMARY:Turning Heads: Intro to Oil Painting Hair
DESCRIPTION:Hair has always been one of the most psychologically loaded subjects in figurative painting — and one of the most technically misunderstood. In this six-week course\, you’ll learn to approach hair not as individual strands to render\, but as form\, light\, and mass — studying braids\, curls\, and coils the way the Old Masters did. Working in the indirect oil painting method\, you’ll begin with black-and-white grisaille and build toward full color\, using the back of a subject’s head as your motif — a compositional choice with a long and quietly powerful tradition in art history. \nEach class session includes a live demo\, examples drawn from art history\, and dedicated studio time on your own painting. Along the way\, we’ll discuss the structure of the skull and neck\, how light moves across complex hair forms\, and what it means — emotionally and conceptually — to paint a figure who is turned away. \nOpen to beginner and intermediate oil painters. Limited to 6 students. \nMaterial list will be provided upon registration. \nClass Dates: \nSept. 3 \nSept. 10 \nSept. 17 \nSept. 24 \nOct. 1 \nOct. 8 \nClass time: \n6:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nPrice: $300 for the full series\, or $65 per session

SUMMARY:Exploring Monoprints with Recycled TetraPak Food Cartons- with Steven Chapp MFA
DESCRIPTION:Description: In this printmaking class\, you will work with recycled TetraPak cartons\, discovering how their thin metal foil liner can be transformed into an expressive drypoint surface. By drawing directly into the foil\, you’ll carve delicate recessed lines that hold ink much like traditional etched or engraved marks on a copper plate. The process reveals a surprising sensitivity in this everyday material\, allowing you to create lines that range from whisper‑soft scratches to bold\, sculptural grooves. \nThroughout the class\, you will experiment with a variety of tools to explore different types of mark-making — from needles and awls to improvised objects that leave unexpected textures. You’ll also learn multiple wiping techniques\, each one influencing how the ink settles into the lines and how the plate’s surface tone develops. These variations make every print distinct\, giving each image its own atmosphere and character. \nBecause the TetraPak plate can only be printed once in this way\, each impression becomes a singular\, unrepeatable artwork. You’ll choose the dimensions of your image based on the size and shape of the carton you’re working with\, embracing the creative possibilities that come from repurposing a familiar object into a printing plate.

SUMMARY:Beginning Bowl Turning with Mark Gardner
DESCRIPTION:Step up to the lathe and turn your very first wooden bowl in this hands-on\, 1-day introductory workshop with acclaimed Saluda woodturner Mark Gardner.\nDesigned specifically for beginners\, this course demystifies the woodturning lathe and equips students with essential safety\, mounting\, and tool-handling techniques. Mark guides students step-by-step through the process of shaping\, hollowing\, and finishing a small functional hardwood bowl from a raw wood blank. \nThrough live demonstrations and dedicated one-on-one coaching\, participants will cover:\nLathe Mechanics & Safety: Understanding lathe controls\, speeds\, mounting faceplates\, and operating scroll chucks safely.\nGouge & Chisel Technique: Learning proper body positioning and tool-presentation angles for smooth\, controlled cuts using bowl gouges.\nForm & Wall Thickness: Shaping the exterior profile\, establishing a solid foot/recess\, and evenly hollowing the bowl interior.\nSanding & Food-Safe Finishing: Refining turned surfaces on the lathe and applying protective\, non-toxic wood oils. \nStudents will leave the workshop with a completed\, hand-turned wooden bowl and the foundational confidence to continue pursuing lathe work independently. \nWhat Students Should Bring\nFace shield or safety glasses\nN95 dust mask or respirator\nHair tie (for long hair; no loose clothing or dangling jewelry permitted near lathes)

SUMMARY:Turning Heads: Intro to Oil Painting Hair
DESCRIPTION:Hair has always been one of the most psychologically loaded subjects in figurative painting — and one of the most technically misunderstood. In this six-week course\, you’ll learn to approach hair not as individual strands to render\, but as form\, light\, and mass — studying braids\, curls\, and coils the way the Old Masters did. Working in the indirect oil painting method\, you’ll begin with black-and-white grisaille and build toward full color\, using the back of a subject’s head as your motif — a compositional choice with a long and quietly powerful tradition in art history. \nEach class session includes a live demo\, examples drawn from art history\, and dedicated studio time on your own painting. Along the way\, we’ll discuss the structure of the skull and neck\, how light moves across complex hair forms\, and what it means — emotionally and conceptually — to paint a figure who is turned away. \nOpen to beginner and intermediate oil painters. Limited to 6 students. \nMaterial list will be provided upon registration. \nClass Dates: \nSept. 3 \nSept. 10 \nSept. 17 \nSept. 24 \nOct. 1 \nOct. 8 \nClass time: \n6:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nPrice: $300 for the full series\, or $65 per session
