Fall Classes
Jenny Dowd
Fall classes have begun at the Art Association! I’m teaching a variety of topics…
Make your own clay and silver jewelry in Melding Minerals. In this 3-part class we will make jewelry components from stoneware and porcelain, highlighting texture, color, and surface design. Then we will put it all together with silversmith Jen McNaughton.
Tuesdays | 5:30 - 8:30pm | Sept 18 - Oct 2
Surface Design on Pottery started this past Wednesday, but it’s not too late to drop in for any topic you are curious about. Sgraffito, inlay & mishima, decals & transfers…
Wednesdays | 6 - 9pm | Sept 12 - Oct 17
Drawing Topics is a great drawing class to refresh your skills or start up a good drawing habit. Each week covers a different topic, sign up for all or just a few.
Tuesdays | 10am - 12pm | Oct 2 - Nov 6
In Handbuilding with Clay - Daytime we will cover all the basic handbuilding techniques - slab, pinch, coil, plus a lot more. Bring your ideas- large and small! Learn how to use studio tools such as the slab roller and extruder.
Wednesdays | Oct 24 - Nov 28 | 12 - 2pm
I’m offering 2 opportunities to make your own cards before the holidays:
Printing & Sewing: Cardmaking In this one-day workshop we will spend the morning making designs, and patterns by making simple screenprints and monotypes. In the afternoon we will collage these prints by sewing them onto cards with other found and handmade papers. No glue! The sewing machine lines can create beautiful attachments and simple lines that add to your design. No sewing or printmaking experience necessary.
Saturday | Nov 3 | 10am - 3pm
Monotype Printmaking: Holiday Cards Spend an afternoon making fun and simple cards to celebrate the holidays (or any event.) Learn simple monotype techniques and make cards or images in multiple sizes. Once the print has dried you can even go back and draw on top of the colors or images… so many options!
Tuesday | Dec 4 | 1 - 4pm
