Pastel Workshop at Stony Creek
Working with pastels, we’ll spend a weekend observing a slice of nature in scenic Stony
Creek. This shoreline setting provides a variety of landscape views including water,
marshland, houses, boats, and sky. Students will learn to apply pastel to respond to the
color, light and atmosphere that nature throws our way. In the event of light rain we’ll
seek shelter and work from one of several open gazebos in the area. Some drawing or
painting experience will be helpful but is not a prerequisite to enjoying the class. A full
materials list and meeting location will be sent upon registration. Optional: Sunday session
will be followed by pizza dinner at Stony Creek Market.

Immersion in Abstraction
Explore the world of abstraction. In this class students will investigate contemporary
abstraction and discover ways to generate and compose their own abstract imagery.
Some approaches will involve collage, expressive narrative, symbolic imagery, and
geometry. The course will cover the basics of color theory, space, value, and composition. All levels welcome; the class will be tailored to individual participants. The only
prerequisite is to come with a curiosity and willingness to experiment. Over the two
days, students will be guided towards the completion of a small series of works, as well
as at least one larger work.

Waxing Wabi-Sabi on the Weekend
In this encaustic workshop, we will take inspiration from Wabi-Sabi, an aesthetic that
embraces the imperfection of processes over which we have no control. With this in
mind, we will begin with observations of our surroundings. Using encaustic, students
will be introduced to texturizing, layering and techniques for creating a patina while
taking advantage of happy accidents that occur with the medium. Some experience
with encaustic is helpful although not required. Specialized materials valued at $35
included. List of additional materials will be sent upon registration.
Instructor: Ruth Sack
Lab fee: $15
Saturday & Sunday, 10am - 4pm, Mar 8 - 9
Cost: $175; members: $161
Encaustic Collograph
This workshop combines encaustic painting with printmaking by creating collagraph
plates using wax to make the printable matrix. Participants will be able to experiment
with inlaying and incising techniques to create texture and build their image on a reuseable Plexi-glass plate which can then be inked with water based inks (Akua intaglio)
and printed on a printing press. The possibilities of using encaustic to create texture
in printmaking are limitless. Combining these two artistic mediums will be an exciting
visual and artistic journey. This workshop is best suited for those with some experience
with encaustic and printmaking with a press, but not required. Specialized materials
valued at $40 included.

Photography, Life and the Opposites
Successful images are always the result of photographers expressing themselves by
trying to be fair to their subjects. The basis of this workshop is the landmark principle
of Aesthetic Realism stated by its founder Eli Siegel: “All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.” Some
topics covered are: showing the depths of a person through what is seen on the surface;
choosing a background that is different from the main subject but doesn’t fight with it;
feeling at ease photographing strangers on the street. We will also look at questions
about self-expression had by some of the medium’s most important photographers—and
how they are our questions as well. Bring your camera (digital or film) to the first session
along with 3 prints for discussion in a critical and encouraging atmosphere.

In this course, students will use Adobe Lightroom to organize, edit, adjust, and output
their photographs. An emphasis will be placed using the RAW capture that most SLR
and Mirrorless digital cameras offer in order to have the most control of the images.
While Lightroom is designed to be a much simpler, intuitive program than Photoshop,
it is very powerful, and students will learn controls ranging from color correction and
black-and-white conversion, to advanced topics such as removing lens distortion. A
camera that shoots in RAW is recommended but not required.
