October also offers some cool jewelry and metal classes! The 2 Band Ring Class is a basic intro class to soldering and texturing metal and making one two band rings.  And our ever popular Intro to Jewelry Making, Class 2  is filling up quickly, there are only a couple of spots left for each session, we recommend signing up today. 

OIL PAINTING + CANVAS MAKING

In Intro to Oil Painting students will cover brushwork, toning, value blocking, color theory, mediums, form, light, and other fundamental skills. Whether you are a true beginner or a seasoned oil painter, strengthening your understanding of the basics will always help you to be a better painter. 

Canvas Making and Preparation is a 3-day workshop that covers the process of canvas making from start to finish. Each participant will leave with two fully prepared canvases and the ability to create more in the future. Canvas making is a great way to gain a better understanding of your painting process and a cost-effective way to have access to custom-made canvases of any size.
