Sketchbook Class: Doodling leads to sketching. Sketching leads to drawing. Drawing leads to painting. It all leads to having a good time. This class is about as basic as it gets. Simplify subjects, render them in pencil, add watercolors, design sketchbook pages and incorporate words into each page design if you like. Work from real life or your own photos. Expect demonstrations, in-class exercises and outdoor excursions if the weather permits. No drawing experience is needed.

GLASS BLOWING FOR BEGINNERS I, II, & III
$150 - a three hour workshop for a maximum of 3 people (2 required to run the class)!
Starting with Beginners I, skills are taught progressively through Beginners III. Students must take Beginners 1 before taking II and III.
Beginners I is designed to give beginners an introduction to basic glassblowing. The class will give students ample hands on experience as they learn classic techniques such as shaping the glass, making basic forms and apply basic color to the glass. By the end of the workshop students will have made paperweights, ornaments and vessels. Students can expect to make 2 to 4 pieces, which will be ready to take home the next day. Shipping is available for visiting students.
In Beginners II and III, students build on the skills learned in Beginners I. Students will learn how to gather glass out of the furnace and reheat. These skills are necessary for students to start to make pieces totally on their own. With ample instruction, students will make blown vessels from start to finish. Students can expect to make 2 to 4 pieces, which will be ready to take home the next day. Shipping is available for visiting students.
