1 DAY CLASS - WORKSHOPS WINTER 2008
note: Workshop Fees are non-refundable
FIMO WORKSHOP: CELTIC KNOT BEADS
instructor: Sarah Shriver
location: Glass Room


With easy to follow step-by-step instructions, students will build a complex "celtic" knot cane which is designed to interlock and repeat into a wonderful array of patterns. From just one cane students will build a series of canes by cutting, reforming and recombining them, manipulating each of the pieces differently and exploring the possibilities of infinite pattern variation. Finally, we'll make beads and discuss techniques that dramatically enhace the finished look of the work. Materials list. (45 minute lunch)

TWO DAY CLASSES - WORKSHOPS WINTER 2008
note: Workshop Fees are non-refundable

MIX THAT MEDIA!
instructor: Mira M. White
location: Glass Room

This workshop is about discovery and play with multiple mediums. The emphasis will be on experimentation with materials. Artist participants will be free to work with abstraction, representation or to develop the work entirely from the unique process that layering with different materials provides. Results are often surprisingly rich and unexpected. This moving and pushing around of image and structure is the critical means to the final product. We will be using a combination of materials which may include: acrylics, pastels (oil and soft), oil sticks, oil paint/dry pigment with glues, gesso, watercolor and/or colored pencils. The combination of materials themselves inspire experimentation and artistic risks, and helps the artist to focus on process as well as product. Participants will be invited to use all or a combination of materials as the workshop progresses, Supply list upon registration.
