Everyone loves birds! Simple shapes and bold colors are what we focus on when learning how to collage songbirds and blooms. I will teach you how to transfer a sketch from your reference photo, create a comprehensive underpainting with shading and a background, how to gel print your own papers, and how to apply collage! At the end of this three day workshop, you will have the skills and confidence to create your own Paper Painting!

This workshop is a comprehensive class in which students are taught a unique figurative collage technique. Emphasis will be on developing form using light, shadow, and directional ripping– very similar to traditional painting techniques. No prior collage experience is necessary. Some painting experience would be helpful, but not imperative.

This class is perfect for beginners with some drawing experience and for seasoned painters looking to expand their watercolor skills. We’ll explore brushwork, mediums, paper, and the art of painting light and shadow. Learn glazing, texture, and frisket techniques while creating luminous, impressionistic watercolors full of color and life.

Refine your skills in a supportive studio setting while working on self-directed projects. 

This class offers a supportive studio environment for intermediate and advanced students ready to deepen their ceramics practice. Under Ben’s guidance, you’ll explore advanced throwing and hand-building techniques such as lidded vessels, plates, and bottle forms, while developing your own personal projects. You’ll also experiment with surface decoration, glazing, and finishing to bring your unique vision to life. Weekly open studio sessions provide extra practice time, and materials—including 25 pounds of clay, glazes, and firings—are included. One-on-one instructor support ensures personalized guidance throughout the course.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the creation and modification of ceramic glazes. Students will begin by learning how to read glaze recipes and accurately prepare liquid glaze batches. Building on this foundation, the course explores techniques for developing multiple glaze variations from a limited number of initial batches.

Unleash your creativity and design beautiful, one-of-a-kind silk scarves — perfect as gifts or for yourself! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore three distinct dyeing techniques: rust dyeing, acid dyes, and Jacquard dyes. You’ll receive three scarves to create and experiment with, plus access to fabric paints to add your own artistic flair.

This class is perfect for students eager to develop and advance their pottery skills in a fun, supportive environment. Using the potter’s wheel, slab roller, extruder, and texture tools, you’ll experiment with both functional and decorative techniques to bring your creative ideas to life. Small class sizes ensure personalized instruction tailored to your skill level and goals. Whether you’re a beginner building your foundation or an experienced student refining your craft, you’ll gain confidence and learn essential techniques. Materials—including 25 pounds of clay, glazes, firings, and weekly open studio access—are included, with optional pottery tool kits available for purchase.
