Oil
Painting: All Levels is for beginners who would like to learn to
paint with oils, and for those with painting experience. Award
winning artist Brenda Berg paces the class to fit the individual
concerns of each student, so development naturally occurs in an
enjoyable learning environment. Attention is given to
observational studies, form, light and shadow, as well as color
theory, composition, painting materials, historical art
movements and selected master artworks. Beginning oil painters
are given a structured curriculum, while Intermediate and
Advanced students will chose individual direction and projects. Each
artist is encouraged to find his or her own visual voice and to
develop an individual approach to image making.

The class offers students two sessions in the Santa
Cruz Mountains and two sessions along the coast. Students will have
the opportunity to experience the exhilaration that comes from
painting directly from nature. Working from nature in a constantly
changing light source can be challenging-but it's the spectacular
colors, textures, scenes, sounds and smells of the living landscape
that the outdoor painter finds engaging. The class is open to all
students wanting to learn more about plein air oil painting. See
syllabus for details.

A workshop designed to loosen painters up in the land
of big canvases! In this stimulating hands-on workshop oil and
acrylic painters will learn how to work Alla Prima (all at once) and
the various techniques used to create a fresh, spontaneous response
to your subject matter. After an initial demonstration, students
will work on their own by applying paint in large tonal patches and
refining/adding details as they move along. This workshop will be
particularly helpful to students who wish to paint more loosely, use
palette/brush strokes economically and take advantage of the
inherent beauty of work that looks more spontaneous and loose.

working on large hand
We're going big! This is a handbuilding class that goes through the
essentials in making a sound, tall sculpture, from construction
through glazing. Intermediate clay experience is essential,
beginners not advised.

($240) |
($280) |

Come learn the techniques of making tall sculpture with just clay!
We will be going through a variety of techniques, employing one, or
several, that each student is most comfortable with to build at
least one large sculpture during the course of the class.
Experience with clay is a must. It is advised that you’ve had
hand-building or throwing classes before and have the patience for
construction with a pliable material.
This is a morning
class that meets during the week, so if you can fit it into your
schedule, this will be a great opportunity to take some time for
yourself and get more comfortable with clay! Local ceramics artist
Jennifer Hennig, who has taught ceramics classes locally and sold
her work throughout the country for over 15 years, will teach this
class.
The class meets 3 times per week, on Monday,
Wednesday & Friday, for 3 hours each session, for a period of 3
weeks.
After 2 weeks, we will take a week off for drying and
firing and continue the following week for glazing. Students
purchase clay from the Art Center. Let’s make it tall!

PDF - Basic Tools for Handbuilding |
Suitable for those entirely new to clay as well as those wishing to
begin again or fill holes in their ceramic understanding, these
classes offer a solid foundation in the basics of handbuilding.
Using well-guided but interpretive projects, students will explore a
trio of forming and decorating techniques in each 6-week session.
The first class will cover pinching, coiling and soft wad
construction methods. The second class will explore both soft and
leather-hard slab forming options, as well as building solid
sculptural forms and hollowing them out. Every session will cover
the pertinent properties of clay, drying, suitable decorating and
firing options, cracks and repairs, as well as address the juicy
aspects of the creative process. Each class is stand alone and can
be taken separately. Taken together, they will provide students with
a guided tour of essential and effective handbuilding skills as well
as a good start on a range of decoration choices and some
understanding of creative process and personal style.

This is a hands-on workshop using tar paper to make
functional pieces. All skill levels welcome.
Using tar paper templates we will do soft slab building to create
mugs, vases, bowls and more. If you've made pots with slabs before,
learning to use tar paper makes it so much easier! If you have no
previous hand building experience, don t worry. We will go over
basic pieces at the beginning of class so that you will be able to
make pieces that day. I will also demonstrate how to glaze your
textured pieces in the way I do for my product line.
