Covid-19
Update (5/17/2020)
At
this time everything is still on hold here, even small group workshops. The uncertainty of opening ourselves (participants,
instructors alike) up to gathering in a relatively small space, having shared facilities, tools, and supplies does not
meet the needs of social distancing even wearing masks and gloves. Trying to keep ahead of the potential exposure is too risky,
as people would be coming from so many local and regional situations/locations.
Additional program options will be added as this pandemic, Covid
19 allows. Decisions will be made on an ever evolving basis.
It is hoped that you and yours are well and able to steer clear of infection with best
practices that are known at this time.

The Cruciform - Designing the Abstract Painting Jacqueline Sullivan
Cancelled due to Covid-19
A typical cruciform symbol is named after the Latin word for "cross-shaped", having a simple construction
of two perpendicular intersecting lines. Using this shape in an abstract painting gives us a place to start and build from.
We'll work with the "rule of thirds" with either a high cross or low crossing line. We'll build out from our cruciform
with simple collage and texture. The class will use Golden Fluid Acrylics and Golden High Flow paint to build their paintings
with thin layers of color. Students will receive a lot of individual attention and the painting that they leave with will
be truly their own expression Sat./Sun. June 6th
/ 7th, 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. $350/$20 materials

Needle Binding Jackie Hefty Cancelled due to Covid-19
It just sounds difficult, not really so hard, but it gives you bragging rights! You will be sure to
impress your friends or family with your bookmaking skills when you show them this creation. An exposed stitching
design on the spine of the book resembles a herringbone pattern. This book is designed to lie flat when open
which allows for ease in drawing or writing. Makes a great gift! Previous book making is recommended, but not required.
Minimal supplies are necessary to continue making beautiful books at home. Fri.
June 12, 12:30 - 4:30 $70/$15 materials (Papers will be available for purchase if you need for your signatures, see supply list
for more information.)

Air Painting in Soft Pastel Kay Brathol-Hostvet
Cancelled due to Covid-19

| Plein Air Soft Pastels |
Pastel is perfect for depicting the various
textures and colors of the spring landscape and is a very portable medium so it is ideal for plein air painting—working
directly from nature. You'll complete two or three small works on different papers, provided by the instructor. Previous experience
in soft pastel is highly recommended, but beginners with good drawing skills are welcome. Experienced plein air students may
bring their own papers if they wish or work in the medium of their choice. We may work off-site for part of the day. Sunday,
June 14, 2020 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. NOTE: earlier than usual start time $160
