This class introduces students to the essential techniques and concepts of sculpting forms in clay. Working from classical examples as reference, the course covers basic sculptural processes, including additive, subtractive, and modeling techniques, with an emphasis on understanding volume and proportion.
*We use non-toxic oil based clay for all of our sculpture classes. We re-use this clay for future classes. However, students will have the option to purchase their clay at the end of this class at cost.

This course introduces students to indirect painting methods, where form, light, and atmosphere are built up gradually through a series of transparent and opaque layers of oil paint.
Students will begin with a tonal underpainting (grisaille or imprimatura) and progress through stages of glazing and scumbling to achieve luminous depth, subtle transitions, and refined form. Emphasis will be placed on value structure, edge control, and the properties of traditional mediums.
Rooted in Renaissance and Baroque painting practices, this class is ideal for students seeking a disciplined, historically grounded approach to oil painting.

This class is dedicated to the art of drawing portraits from a live model. Students will learn the fundamental techniques needed to capture the likeness, expression, and character of the human face. The course covers essential aspects of portraiture, including proportion, anatomy, light and shadow, and the use of line and tone to create a realistic and expressive portrait. Students will complete 1-2 portraits in this class.

Learn the art and science of insect pinning and illustration in this hands-on weekend workshop focused on Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). Participants will be introduced to ethical specimen sourcing, proper spreading and mounting techniques, and basic preservation practices used in both scientific and artistic contexts. Each student will work from a selection of ethically sourced butterflies or moths and leave with their own beautifully pinned specimen and shadow box, suitable for display and study.
Once students complete their pinning, they will then learn how to use their display to draw and paint the subject in ink and watercolor.

Join us in learning the classical method of drawing the long-form nude figure in this six-week course. Participants will work with a single, sustained pose throughout the duration of the class, honing their skills in accurate observation, anatomy, proportion, and rendering.
Using Graphite, students will explore foundational techniques such as block-ins, measuring, preliminaries, and the careful study of light and shadow to achieve a highly lifelike drawing.
This challenging class is foundational in pushing our abilities well beyond what we believe we are capable of.
