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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Landscape Laboratory - Structure & Disruption (Aug. 18-22)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday through Saturday\, 10:00AM-5:00PM (August 18-22). Part of the Plein Air Art Festival. \n\n\nLearn the basics of strong landscape painting through a process of building\, destroying\, and recombining with dynamic results. This innovative workshop will be team taught by Liam Murphy-Torres and Francie Cook\, both recent MFA graduates of the New York Studio School \nMorning sessions run 10am-1pm and afternoon sessions run 2pm-5pm. \nMornings will feature drawing from observation and from memory. It will be a rigorous introduction to drawing from perception and to visual art-making generally. Students will be introduced to a wide variety of strategies for looking and for translating what they see into a developing graphic vocabulary. Through sustained practice working from life\, students will develop new ways of seeing and understanding the visual world\, and will be given new frameworks for translating that experience into drawings and paintings. Afternoons will be spent using collage and other disruptive techniques to reimagine and recombine the images from the morning session. Paintings and drawings will evolve as the week progresses in a deeply iterative process that will contain many exciting discoveries for the participants. This workshop is fantastic for beginners and those looking for a way to break old patterns and create a new body of work. \nPlease bring your sketching materials\, charcoal and drawing paper\, as well as a few blank canvases and your acrylic paints as well as any collage material you wish to bring.
