Would you love to make an artwork made from glass but the idea of cutting glass is intimidating? Well this is YOUR class! Come and use glass that is already cut (scraps, irregular shapes, cabochons and stringers) to design a beautiful, personalized suncatcher or trivet. The base will be clear glass and you can choose between a long rectangle shape or square. When we fire the pieces, hooks can be added for hanging or it can be used as a trivet.

BIG AND BOLD: the Art and Abstractions of Leon Polk Smith
Fall Break Art Camp
Prairie Arts Center is excited to once again partner with the OSU Museum of Art for this year's Fall Break Camp. This 3-day camp will begin on Wednesday, October 18th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Leon Polk Smith: Affinities in Art and Design. Just as the exhibition does, we will follow native Oklahoman Smith on his journey of simplification and abstraction. We will use elements of nature and everyday objects as our starting point, making paintings and sculptures that sing with simplicity, clean lines and bold colors! Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes.

In this course, students explore the basic physical properties of clay by practicing a variety of hand-forming techniques used to create functional objects. Hand-forming techniques will include pinch pottery, slab and coil building, mold slumping, and texturizing surfaces. The objective of this class is not to make pieces to take home, but rather to learn what is possible and give students a chance to get their hands dirty and feel what it's like to work with clay. No previous experience with clay is needed for this class. This class is a prerequisite to attend instructional open studio.
