- Slow Stitching: Inciting Joy
This course will begin with 12 blank squares of cotton. Each week participants stitch on a square and will learn beginner embroidery techniques including outline stitches, needle painting, knots and weaving stitches, as well as embellishment techniques such as stumpwork, cut work and flower pounding. Students will be invited to bring in their own cloth mementos and other materials to incorporate into the work. The class will explore methods for bringing these 12 works together into one piece or a body of work. Ross Gay’s “Inciting Joy” will be used as inspiration and point of departure for the stitching process. Students will listen to this text while stitching and let the intuitive response of the words inform the work. Each week will also include a writing prompt to expand each artist’s exploration of the relationship between their handwork and the text. No previous stitching experience required. THURSDAYS, JAN 9 - APR 3, 6PM - 9PM IN-PERSON
- Painting from Photographs
Photographs provide great reference material and idea sources for making paintings. The instructor will guide you through the classical method of gridding out the image and transferring it to a surface with a pencil. From there you will learn how to build up on the image with paint. This workshop will open you up to new possibilities for using photographs as a point of departure in your work. You are encouraged to bring in a photograph of your choosing or work with one of the images provided by the instructor. Suitable for all levels. See supply list. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 10AM - 4:30PM IN-PERSON
- Painting the Everyday with Gouache
Gouache (pronounced “gwash”) is an opaque water-based paint that is easy to use and very forgiving. Students will discover the excitement of working with gouache through a range of weekly projects. This course is inspired by the artist, illustrator, and writer Maira Kalman (http://www.mairakalman.com/). The focus is on using objects and experiences that are part of your everyday, as well as using popular culture and current events as subject matter. Composition, working with text, and ideas surrounding meaning and content will be addressed with each project. Course will include presentations of other artists working with ‘the everyday’ as a source as well as examples of artists who work with gouache. TUESDAYS, JAN 7 - APR 1, 2PM - 5PM ONLINE
