SUMMARY:Sculptural Vessels in Clay - Saturday 3-Day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this 3-day ceramics Saturday workshop (July 11th and July 18th from 2:00PM-5:30PM\, and August 1st from 2:00PM-4:00PM). \nBuilding with coils of clay is a very accessible and versatile technique that can be used to create larger pieces\, asymmetrical\, very organic or sculptural. Unlike working with the wheel\, a successful coil piece can be easier to create with little experience. All levels are welcome! \nFIRST DAY – Saturday\, July 11th from 2PM-5:30PM (3.5 hours) \nWe will look at examples of coil work for inspiration before a demonstration of the actual technique using simple tools. You can have an rough idea of what you’d like to do or just start and see what develops. Done correctly\, one can create a large piece by gradually building it coil by coil\, joining the coils together by hand and then smoothing the surface with a special flexible tool that can stretch and direct the development of the shape. Each stage needs to be done with care so the base can support the next stage. Any work that is unfinished can be wrapped properly so it can be finished on the following Saturday. \nSECOND DAY – Saturday\, July 18th from 2PM-5:30PM (3.5 hours) \nContinue working to finish the project. If you are finished\, feel free to explore techniques in another piece such as leaving some coils showing or combining multiple coil sections together\, adding texture or decoration to the surface. It is important to let the pieces dry slowly and thoroughly before the bisque fire. \nTHIRD DAY – Saturday\, August 1st from 2PM-4PM (2 hours) \nAfter your piece has been bisque fired you will glaze it to be fired a second time. NOTE: you will need to return to pick up the finished glazed piece at a later date to be determined. \n$149 workshop fee (9 hours total) does not include materials. Clay is sold by the pound and can be purchased from the instructor at the beginning of the workshop. \n \n  \n  \n\nInstructor: Paula Wolfe taught high school pottery for many years in Massachusetts before teaching jewelry. She is now revisiting her love of hand building and is especially interested in containers for plants and flower arranging\, a new passion. She uses a special flexible tool to smooth and sculpt the surface of the piece after the coils have been joined. \n  \nClick here to view our cancellation policy.

SUMMARY:Exploring Florals with Watercolor One-Day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, July 26th from 9:00AM-4:00PM \nLearn to create paintings inspired by flowers and nature. We will work with cut flowers and learn how to draw and compose our pieces. Then we will explore how different watercolor techniques\, such as color mixing\, wet on wet\, wet on dry\, glazing and detail work\, can be used to bring them to life. Beginners welcome! \n$99 workshop fee does not include materials. There is a materials fee of $15 or you can bring your own watercolor supplies. \nWe will have an hour break for lunch midday.

She graduated from Maine College of Art & Design in 2021 with a Masters in Art Education\, as well as in 2019 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Painting and a minor in Art History. She chooses to work in the medium of watercolor as a nod to botanical illustrations\, and due to the technical challenge of it\, the puzzle involved to create such a complex piece with layers and fine detail.
