WORKSHOP #1 REPORTAGE DRAWING
Reportage drawing is a way to report on-site through
images. In this class you will learn to become confident
with line drawing. We will build your speed and
endurance to draw for a longer time, capturing as much
detail as possible. This is a form of drawing that will help
illustrators, animators, caricature and portrait artists,
people in fine art, as well as still life and figure drawing
artists. Good also for those who are looking to begin to
explore drawing!

design skills. We will be going to various locations in San
Francisco (near the studio) and drawing on site.

WORKSHOP #3 DRAWING PEOPLE
In this one day workshop you will be introduced to
methods that will help you become more comfortable
with drawing people still as well as in motion while at the
same time adding striking design elements. This is not
a figure drawing course - although what you will learn in
this workshop will help in figure drawing. The focus will
be drawing the shapes and gestures in the clothed figure.
We will be drawing on location in the park near the studio.

NATURAL DYEING WORKSHOP
Instructor:
Joy-Lily
|
|
|
Before chemical dyes were invented in the late 19th century, all fabric was dyed with plant parts like onion skins, marigold flowers, madder roots and acacia bark, and animals like cochineal bugs and murex snails. The craft of natural dyeing is experiencing a resurgence because they make subtle and beautiful colors and are very easy to use. We'll simmer up pots of several natural dyestuffs to color your woolen and silk yarns and fabrics. Overdyeing will produce even more colors. Instructor will collect $25 in class to cover the cost of the dyes. |
