The Magic of Paperclay Sculpture
October 5–7, 2018
Michele CollierLearn to explore the expressive beauty of the human form through a unique paperclay process working from slab to sculptural form. For sculptors with experience this is a game changer, for those with no experience it is a wonderful place to begin. No knowledge of anatomy, sculpture or ceramics is needed to fully engage with this workshop.

In slab form, the clay can be twisted, folded, squeezed and torn to mimic the human form. Because of the wicking properties that come from the paper additives, it will easily adhere to itself – no scoring or slipping needed.

The Inspired Abstract
October 29–31, 2018
Julie Bernstein Engelmann

Turn moments of inspiration into fascinating abstract paintings!
The treasures of inspiration can be found all around you – in a vivid experience, a dream, a desire, a photograph, and even the pattern of a napkin. In this workshop, you’ll mine such beloved treasures and transmute them into unique, intriguing abstract paintings.

Using Julie’s unique layering technique, you will enter the painting process naturally, ease into personal intuitive marks and forms reflecting your inspiration, and weave exquisite depth and beauty. Then, Julie will help you see the spirit of your painting and gently enhance its drama and spatial flow (composition) so it can shine powerfully.
