Brent Harris / Studio 1 Wed 10/21-11/25 10am-12:30pm / 6 weeks Prerequisite: Beginning Metal Fabrication $240 / Members: $220
This course is available to those interested in advancing and refining their metalworking skills. We will look beyond the MIG and focus on alternative welding techniques such as TIG, gas, and arc as well as various methods of fabricating metal into unique forms.
Explore torch welding techniques in this intermediate course. Learn the essentials of TIG and gas welding along with basic fabrication. Understand the equipment and problem solve common fixes. From different weld joints and positions, to simple blueprint reading, this course will cover technical aspects of welding, accessing structural integrity and how we can apply these to our creative process. Participants will explore different materials, different tools, and finishing methods to help develop personal style while completing several projects meant to challenge and inspire.
Rufus Snoddy / Studio 1 Wed 9/16-9/23 2-5pm / 2 Days Prerequisite: Familiarity with acrylic painting materials and basic hand tools $120 / Members: $100
In this class, participants will examine the intersection of painting and sculpture. Using a pre-stretched canvas, students will first explore ways to physically manipulate, attach objects, and treat the surface of the canvas, thereby turning the ground itself into an object. Once dimensionally developed, students will then learn the best way to seal the ground with gesso before embellishing it with acrylic paints. This is a great workshop to help you push past any creative blocks and explore painting construction and form, rather than simply applying paint to a flat surface.
This class will explore the world of three-dimensional everyday non-art materials combined to create a work of art. Participants will learn how to take found objects and transform them into meaningful artistic narratives. There will be emphasis on composition, material manipulation, and how to effectively mine the essence of these collected materials to create a dialogue with the viewer.
Emily Wohlscheid / Studio 2 Sat 11/7 12-4pm / 1 Day $110 / Members: $90
Explore wet felting to create a geode soft sculpture! Students will layer wool fibers over a form for the felting process that will result in a densely felted ball. These felted forms will be cut open to reveal the banded “agate” layers within, mimicking a stone geode.
No previous experience is required, all skill levels are welcome.
This course is available to those new to metal or interested in refining their metalworking skills. Students will learn MIG, Gas and arc welding to weld, bend and transform metal. In this class we will explore design, form and creative engineering to develop unique sculptural forms from steel. Some materials provided. Students are responsible for appropriate protective clothing.
The desire to merge human and animal into one creature has fascinated artists for centuries. From jackal-headed gods of the afterworld to mermaids and werewolves, hybrids have evolved through folklore and myth into modern culture. Working from live models, students will learn anatomy and engage in storytelling while creating unique anthropomorphic human hybrids. Works will be created in clay and finished with a variety of cold patina techniques.
Paul Nimz / Studio 1 Tue 9/15-11/24 6:30-9pm / 11 weeks Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor is required. $375 / Members: $355
This class is for the self-directed student who wants to expand their skill sets and enhance their abilities in metal sculpture. Students must be familiar with the safe use and operation of the equipment in the studio. Students will provide their own approved material. Problem solving and techniques will be the focus of the class.
