Ceramics For All Levels / 6 Class Sessions + 6 Open Studio Sessions

The Sedona Arts Center’s ceramic department operates free from the constraints of grades and benefits from the talents of its ceramic faculty and assistants as well as nationally recognized guest instructors. This combination allows our department to offer flexible and diverse programming in both traditional and contemporary techniques.

Through demonstration and one-on-one instruction, students will learn to throw a variety of forms on the potter’s wheel or techniques to create hand-built works. Slab roller, extruder and forms are also available to create functional and decorative pieces. Tuition includes the first 25-pound bag of clay, firings and glazes, and one open studio session per week.

Kelli will guide you through simple tips and tricks that will take your photography to the next level.

From the comfort of your home…this 3-part live online course is for those who want a deeper relationship with their creations, want to jump-start a creative lull, or brave the waters of self-curiosity. As a participant you’ll explore the 3 primary energies of creation— desire, death and surrender. You’ll develop a personal relationship with each energy through writing, drawings/watercolor, and curiosity games. You’ll explore how these energies can be applied to art, relationships, careers and everyday choices.

Registrants will receive an invitation to a Zoom meeting room.
Tuesdays 5-7 pm PT / 8-10pm ET

Creativity is a process of allowing. It begins with an inner spark, which you feed, develop and actualize. Creativity must be nurtured into being. It can be both magical and astounding. But it arises when we relax enough to invite it in. Coaxing forth its flow, a wellspring of creative solutions bubble to the surface. Inner wisdom helps us initiate skillful, creative action. Freeing the mind through meditation creates the ground for equanimity–that fertile state where brilliance breaks free.

Students will benefit from demonstrations, slide show and lecture, and one-on-one assistance with their paintings. Kathryn has taught workshops in plein air painting in numerous locations in Italy, Sedona and Utah and has been a keynote presenter at the Sedona Plein Air Festival and at the National Plein Air Convention. Now take this opportunity to work with Kathryn in the more controlled studio environment where artistic creativity and inspiration come together on larger scale or more developed work than plein air painting allows. This workshop is for those painters that have some experience and wish to take their work to the next level.

At the conclusion of this workshop you will have the skills to create impressionistic, painterly collages from initial sketch to complete and ready to hang finished artwork!

This class is focused on learning and growing creatively in a FUN environment.  No prior collage experience is necessary.  All levels are welcome.

Scholarship awards will pay 50% towards any Class or Workshop tuition. Scholarships are not available for international Field Expeditions or Painting in the Grand Canyon. The Sedona Arts Center awards scholarships to students only when funds are available.
