Purple Twig

This isn't your ordinary collage class. Collages can be beautiful made from colorful vibrant papers and they can be funny made from animal images.  Students will explore both the abstract collage inspired by Matisse and representational collages inspired by the Dadaist movement.  Students will learn elements of design and composition. All materials will be provided and ready to be picked up before class begins. 

We are so excited to offer you this enriching, creative project during this unusual time. These wooden houses will provide a week worth of artmaking and then hours and hours of playing time.  Each day will have instructions and materials. I will be packing up all the materials for creating each room, paint, wallpaper making, rugs, furniture making, lighting, plants. Please don't limit this to just girls. Boys love making these as well.  Once purchased, we will reach out to you about a color scheme so your child will be able to make a haunted house if they like or a fire station or a green garden house or a pink house from top to bottom.  

This class is for students who have taken ceramics with us before. We will skip the basics and move on to creating sculptures, masks as well as larger vessels. I will provide materials to be picked up before class including glazes. We will fire the kiln twice duing this class. We will have a few drop off days during the session to drop off works to be fired. 

This online drawing and painting class will focus on using alternative materials. Kids will make their own brushes and pigments  as well as use charcoal and watercolor to make both abstract and representational works.  This is a wonderful class for those who want to explore furthering technique in drawing and painting while also finding their own voice and confidence. We will be packing up some of the materials for you to pick up and use some materials that are in your home. 

All materials will be provided for this online zoom weaving class. You will learn the tabby stitch, soumak stitch, looped tabby stitch, rya knot, lark’s head knot and  how to add tassels to different kinds of weavings and wall hangings. This is great for either a beginner but we will also have some new projects for those who have taken the class before. 

After registration we will contant you with a prefered colored scheme for your weavings and try to provide the materials you desire. 

I will provide materials to be picked up before class including glazes. We will fire the kiln twice duing this class. There will a few days during the session to drop off work to fire and pick up new materials needed. All our clay is lowfire class and we will be using underglazes. 

We will be making pinch pots and coiled pots and animal scultpures. 

Be prepared for some mess. Okay a lot of mess. We will help you set up an easy clean up station to work at if you need. Using a variety of paper mache mediums the kids will create cacti, animal masks and more. We will pack up all the supplies you will need for this class for pick up at the studio. 

This is a family class for a family of 4. We will work with you to make coil pots and the many forms they can take. This is a 2 part class. The first class we will form our ceramic piece and the second class we will glaze them. You will have a choice of glaze colors you would like to work with. I will provide materials to be picked up before class including glazes. You will then drop the pices off to be fired.
