DRAWING AND PAINTING
Drawing and painting are the foundation courses to studying and exploring art. Through pencil, ink, paints and even collage students explore creating lines, working 3 dimensionally, and exploring different ways “to see” objects and the world around us. Time in a drawing and painting class is also a great creative outlet from a busy world and builds on other mediums in art.

Tuesday *Beginning Watercolor 6:00 – 8:00pm with Dave Wilson
Thursday *Cartoon Drawing Studio 6:00 – 8:00pm with Dave Wilson
JEWELRY
For centuries, people have created jewelry for adornment on the body, for sacred rituals and to identify someones social status and wealth. In this jewelry course, students explore both the cold techniques (riveting, sawing, texturing) and hot techniques (joining metals with a torch) to create their own unique jewelry for their every day use and for special occasions. Jewelry may be an “everyday” item or something sculptural and expressive.
Wednesday *Creative Metal Sculptures and Vessels 3:00 – 5:00pm with Nancie Roark
Wednesday *Jewelry Design Studio 6:00 – 8:00pm with Nancie Roark
Fiber Arts
Fiber arts is the crafting and manipulating of textiles and fabrics into the artists’ vision. Knitting, weaving, tufting, punch needling, quilting, sewing, and so many other forms fall under this subcategory. It is cross-disciplinary in historical and cultural techniques: the textile dyeing practice, batik, originating in Indonesia, the Indian block printing application, the significant usage of quilting within the Amish community. The medium spans centuries as the evidence of textile art dates back to prehistoric times, in almost every civilization.
Monday *Secrets of Shibori and Indigo Dye 6:00 – 8:00pm with David Heustess
Thursday *Introduction to Fiber Art Studio 6:00 – 8:00pm with David Heustess This class allows you to explore several of the major techniques of fiber art: weaving, batik, shibori, embroidery and crochet.
