Adult Art Workshops (1 day) with Chrysalis Art Center - Pendant Wire Wrapping and Jewelry Art
Clay Monoprinting Workshop with Meredith WakefieldIf you think you can’t draw, you can’t paint or have no artistic ability, this class is for you! Learn how Mitch Lyon’s’ unique printmaking process changed the way clay can be used. You will be working from a slab of clay, adding layers of colored clay slips, pastels, textures and imagery. From this, the monoprints will be pulled. Even if you’ve never worked with clay or know nothing about printmaking, you’ll be excited to learn how to pull your very own clay monoprints. All levels welcome. Leaf Press Clay Wall Hanging or Platter WorkshopCome and create your very own wall hanging or platter imprinted with flowers and leaves of your choice. In this 2 hour workshop you will receive a piece of clay to roll out and arrange foliage on. You will be given underglaze to color the foliage and/or background. Bring your own foliage or use the foliage provided. These pieces can be hung or the edges can be raised to create a food-safe platter. Pieces will be fired and can be picked up once they are fired.Pendant Wire Wrapping Workshop Wire wrapping is a simple but flexible technique that can be applied to jewelry in numerous ways. By learning a few of the rudimentary skills, you can alter and reimagine them into increasingly complex pieces. The materials and tools required are basic, which lends itself well to creating your own designs at home. Wire wrapped jewelry makes for a wonderful gift and is an exciting form of wearable art as unique as the artist. This workshop will walk you step-by-step through various techniques to produce a stunning wire-wrapped pendant.Wool Art Painting Workshop Wool watercolor is an exceptional art where the piece is created by layering dry wool layer by layer onto fabric (not needle felting). This unique technique allows you to create stunning art with 3-D effect, keeping all secrets of creation under the glass. Under the weight of glass these complex layers of wool appear unbelievably vibrant and rich. Working with wool is a meditative process with therapeutic effects where small motor skills exercise, calm down, and relax the nervous system. During the workshop Maria will lead you step by step and help you finish this richly colored artwork- ready to hang! Choose any picture or painting to recreate in wool.

Adult Art Workshops (1 day) with Chrysalis Art Center - Clayprinting
Clay Monoprinting Workshop with Meredith WakefieldIf you think you can’t draw, you can’t paint or have no artistic ability, this class is for you! Learn how Mitch Lyon’s’ unique printmaking process changed the way clay can be used. You will be working from a slab of clay, adding layers of colored clay slips, pastels, textures and imagery. From this, the monoprints will be pulled. Even if you’ve never worked with clay or know nothing about printmaking, you’ll be excited to learn how to pull your very own clay monoprints. All levels welcome. Leaf Press Clay Wall Hanging or Platter WorkshopCome and create your very own wall hanging or platter imprinted with flowers and leaves of your choice. In this 2 hour workshop you will receive a piece of clay to roll out and arrange foliage on. You will be given underglaze to color the foliage and/or background. Bring your own foliage or use the foliage provided. These pieces can be hung or the edges can be raised to create a food-safe platter. Pieces will be fired and can be picked up once they are fired.Pendant Wire Wrapping Workshop Wire wrapping is a simple but flexible technique that can be applied to jewelry in numerous ways. By learning a few of the rudimentary skills, you can alter and reimagine them into increasingly complex pieces. The materials and tools required are basic, which lends itself well to creating your own designs at home. Wire wrapped jewelry makes for a wonderful gift and is an exciting form of wearable art as unique as the artist. This workshop will walk you step-by-step through various techniques to produce a stunning wire-wrapped pendant.Wool Art Painting Workshop Wool watercolor is an exceptional art where the piece is created by layering dry wool layer by layer onto fabric (not needle felting). This unique technique allows you to create stunning art with 3-D effect, keeping all secrets of creation under the glass. Under the weight of glass these complex layers of wool appear unbelievably vibrant and rich. Working with wool is a meditative process with therapeutic effects where small motor skills exercise, calm down, and relax the nervous system. During the workshop Maria will lead you step by step and help you finish this richly colored artwork- ready to hang! Choose any picture or painting to recreate in wool.

Adult Art Workshops (1 day) with Chrysalis Art Center - Wool Painting
Clay Monoprinting Workshop with Meredith WakefieldIf you think you can’t draw, you can’t paint or have no artistic ability, this class is for you! Learn how Mitch Lyon’s’ unique printmaking process changed the way clay can be used. You will be working from a slab of clay, adding layers of colored clay slips, pastels, textures and imagery. From this, the monoprints will be pulled. Even if you’ve never worked with clay or know nothing about printmaking, you’ll be excited to learn how to pull your very own clay monoprints. All levels welcome. Leaf Press Clay Wall Hanging or Platter WorkshopCome and create your very own wall hanging or platter imprinted with flowers and leaves of your choice. In this 2 hour workshop you will receive a piece of clay to roll out and arrange foliage on. You will be given underglaze to color the foliage and/or background. Bring your own foliage or use the foliage provided. These pieces can be hung or the edges can be raised to create a food-safe platter. Pieces will be fired and can be picked up once they are fired.Pendant Wire Wrapping Workshop Wire wrapping is a simple but flexible technique that can be applied to jewelry in numerous ways. By learning a few of the rudimentary skills, you can alter and reimagine them into increasingly complex pieces. The materials and tools required are basic, which lends itself well to creating your own designs at home. Wire wrapped jewelry makes for a wonderful gift and is an exciting form of wearable art as unique as the artist. This workshop will walk you step-by-step through various techniques to produce a stunning wire-wrapped pendant.Wool Art Painting Workshop Wool watercolor is an exceptional art where the piece is created by layering dry wool layer by layer onto fabric (not needle felting). This unique technique allows you to create stunning art with 3-D effect, keeping all secrets of creation under the glass. Under the weight of glass these complex layers of wool appear unbelievably vibrant and rich. Working with wool is a meditative process with therapeutic effects where small motor skills exercise, calm down, and relax the nervous system. During the workshop Maria will lead you step by step and help you finish this richly colored artwork- ready to hang! Choose any picture or painting to recreate in wool.

Students will enjoy using a variety of clay colors and methods to create original pieces either as functional craft pieces coiled, rolled slab or hand-built into sculptures using additive and subtractive methods. When the pieces are ready to glaze, everyone loves picking from the many beautiful colors and textures of glazes to complete their work. *The clay process takes two weeks, so it is recommended for students to sign up for two weeks of camp in order to complete their projects.Drawing And Painting Camp (June 24-28, August 19-23; 9:00AM-11:00AM)Ages: 5-12Students with an interest in drawing and painting basics will learn various traditional methods of sketching, drawing, and rendering with an array of materials.

We will use copper and powders along with bits of spun glass and fuse it together in a small kiln. After it cools, students will polish the copper piece to give it a finished look. Students will have time to make several final pieces. Come try this ancient art form still used today.Painting Workshop (June 18-June 20, August 6 -August 8, 12:30PM-3:30PM)Compare different types of paints (acrylic, oil, watercolor, gouache) on different surfaces, experiment with innovative styles, share your own techniques and explore your preference for abstract vs. realistic subjects.

Try pen air working outside on a landscape or springhouse study.Printmaking Workshop (June 25-June 27, 12:30PM-3:30PM)Why make just one picture when you can make many? Design a T-Shirt logo, card series, special prints for your friends and family. Learn how to silk screen, dry point, make several unique monoprints. I met an artist who made live fish prints and then set the fish free! Maybe you will find something that inspires you to make more than just one of something. I learned printmaking in high school and started my own business making team shirts!Ceramics Workshop (July 1-July 3, 12:30PM-3:30PM)Time to get creative with clay: maybe you would like to make a vase, a lifelike head, a sculpture of a dance, a mother holing a child, a decorative bowl, or a serving plate.

Students will use a variety of materials (wood, clay, wire, paper, plastic, etc.) to create several sculptures. They will have fun learning techniques of sculpture, developing textures and shadows, terms, tools and styles. If you like to build things, come sculpt with us. Rain or shine - we will work outside on beautiful days!Jewelrymaking Workshop (July 30-August 1, 12:30PM-3:30PM)Jewelry is one of the oldest art forms and is worth a trip to a museum to see how the ancient cultures made theirs!

You will learn how to use tools to make a metal wire spiral, loop, clamp and crimp. The more confident you become the better your designs will become and reflect your personal style.

Adult Foraging Series with The Art of Ecology - June Adult Foraging Series
Adult Foraging Series: Sunday, June 16 - 30 from 2:30PM-4:00PMSunday, September 8 - 22 from 2:30PM-4:00PM Discover the natural bounty in your own community in this introductory series! You will learn how to identify various local plant species, including trees, shrubs, flowers, and fruits, prior to taking a dive into ecosystem connections and foraging etiquette. Then, with that background knowledge, you will explore your community in search of wild-edibles to learn how to prepare and use plants in the kitchen. This course will focus on the benefits of incorporating wild-edibles in our diets, how to identify plants, and creating dishes using in-season flowers and foliage. Each class will include a lecture portion and a "Plant of the Week" portion, where we shall focus on a plant that is currently available for foraging, as well as its benefits and how to utilize it throughout the week.

Adult Art Workshops (1 day) with Chrysalis Art Center - Pendant Wire Wrapping and Jewelry Art
Clay Monoprinting Workshop with Meredith WakefieldIf you think you can’t draw, you can’t paint or have no artistic ability, this class is for you! Learn how Mitch Lyon’s’ unique printmaking process changed the way clay can be used. You will be working from a slab of clay, adding layers of colored clay slips, pastels, textures and imagery. From this, the monoprints will be pulled. Even if you’ve never worked with clay or know nothing about printmaking, you’ll be excited to learn how to pull your very own clay monoprints. All levels welcome. Leaf Press Clay Wall Hanging or Platter WorkshopCome and create your very own wall hanging or platter imprinted with flowers and leaves of your choice. In this 2 hour workshop you will receive a piece of clay to roll out and arrange foliage on. You will be given underglaze to color the foliage and/or background. Bring your own foliage or use the foliage provided. These pieces can be hung or the edges can be raised to create a food-safe platter. Pieces will be fired and can be picked up once they are fired.Pendant Wire Wrapping Workshop Wire wrapping is a simple but flexible technique that can be applied to jewelry in numerous ways. By learning a few of the rudimentary skills, you can alter and reimagine them into increasingly complex pieces. The materials and tools required are basic, which lends itself well to creating your own designs at home. Wire wrapped jewelry makes for a wonderful gift and is an exciting form of wearable art as unique as the artist. This workshop will walk you step-by-step through various techniques to produce a stunning wire-wrapped pendant.Wool Art Painting Workshop Wool watercolor is an exceptional art where the piece is created by layering dry wool layer by layer onto fabric (not needle felting). This unique technique allows you to create stunning art with 3-D effect, keeping all secrets of creation under the glass. Under the weight of glass these complex layers of wool appear unbelievably vibrant and rich. Working with wool is a meditative process with therapeutic effects where small motor skills exercise, calm down, and relax the nervous system. During the workshop Maria will lead you step by step and help you finish this richly colored artwork- ready to hang! Choose any picture or painting to recreate in wool.

You will learn how to use tools to make a metal wire spiral, loop, clamp and crimp. The more confident you become the better your designs will become and reflect your personal style.

Students will enjoy using a variety of clay colors and methods to create original pieces either as functional craft pieces coiled, rolled slab or hand-built into sculptures using additive and subtractive methods. When the pieces are ready to glaze, everyone loves picking from the many beautiful colors and textures of glazes to complete their work. *The clay process takes two weeks, so it is recommended for students to sign up for two weeks of camp in order to complete their projects.Drawing And Painting Camp (June 24-28, August 19-23; 9:00AM-11:00AM)Ages: 5-12Students with an interest in drawing and painting basics will learn various traditional methods of sketching, drawing, and rendering with an array of materials.

We will use copper and powders along with bits of spun glass and fuse it together in a small kiln. After it cools, students will polish the copper piece to give it a finished look. Students will have time to make several final pieces. Come try this ancient art form still used today.Painting Workshop (June 18-June 20, August 6 -August 8, 12:30PM-3:30PM)Compare different types of paints (acrylic, oil, watercolor, gouache) on different surfaces, experiment with innovative styles, share your own techniques and explore your preference for abstract vs. realistic subjects.
