Wheel throwing attracts students who particularly like symmetrically round objects and challenges them to learn how to control the development of a particular form. The basic steps for throwing will be the focus for beginners, while more advanced students will be challenged by more complex forms and techniques, which will lead to all students achieving success through practice. Students will also explore the myriad ways to apply glazes. Bring your own tools or purchase a kit at the front desk. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, firing, and in-studio glazing.

This portrait class is for the absolute beginner! We will practice drawing the components of the face; eyes, ears, nose, and mouth step by step. Each person is unique with their own special features and personality. When you see other portraits by other artists, it can leave you wondering, “how did they accomplish that?” We will learn the sequence of what to do first, what to look for, to create a good portrait drawing.

In this introduction class we will explore the foundations of perspective. Drawing cityscapes, landscapes, scenes or even geometric shapes can be challenging to an artist. The solution is perspective drawing! Do you want to create more depth and structure in your drawings or paintings? Or have you tried drawing in perspective before, but “don’t get it”? Maybe you want to improve your sketching, making faster, more accurate perspective drawings? We will study concepts of 1 point and 2 point perspective. We will explore the principles of perspective, and demystify it for you!
