One-Day Workshops
Our one-day workshops are all-day events which condense a particular topic into a single class. Think of them as a crash course in painting and drawing. while they may be a bit more intensive, workshops are still designed to accept beginners and advanced students alike.
Level: All skill levels
Learn the secrets to painting Flowers in this one-day workshop. Working directly on the canvas, students will learn how to first sketch the basic structure of a flower or floral arrangement, then how to mix colors and apply paint. Along the way we will discuss the form and “structure” of petals and botanicals, as well as learning other tips and tricks specific to this timeless subject matter.
This class will take place on May 25th, from 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM (lunch break at 12:30)
Students may either bring a lunch or buy a lunch at one of the many restaurants nearby (please be aware the studio is not currently equipped with a fridge).
Materials list available below. For those who wish to rent studio materials, this is possible for a $10 fee.
Learn everything you need to know about framing! Whether you plan to have your work professionally framed, or want to frame your work yourself, this lecture is for you.
The first half of this lecture will explore how to choose a frame— how to know what colors, materials, and designs will harmonize with your artwork. The second half will teach you how to frame and hang the artwork yourself, as well as answer any technical questions you may have (When should your work be matted? Does your artwork need to be behind glass? What is the difference between various hanging hardware? etc.)
This class will take place Saturday, June 29th, from 10 AM - 12 PM
No materials are required for this class, but we do recommend a pencil and notepad for taking notes (we will also provide notes for you to take home.)
Cancelation Policy:
If the studio should be responsible for the cancelation of a class, the class will be rescheduled and the student will have the option to receive a full refund, or to apply the credits to another class.
Due to the limited availability of spaces, as well as the processing fees involved in payment methods, we cannot issue refunds for cancelations made by the students more than 48 hours after a registration. We apologize for this inconvenience, and ask that you please check the dates carefully to verify your availability before registering for a class.
For weekly classes, regular make-up dates are added to the schedule, usually once or twice a trimester. (The make up dates will be listed in the class description.) Students are welcome to make up classes on these dates, or may request to to sit in during a class of another session if space allows.
