All Classes

In this special holiday themed class, students will learn how to construct a collagraph plate, making use of various textures and techniques. They will also learn how to properly ink their plate and roll it through our printing press! Our theme is "a holiday scene," which could be a cozy indoor scene by the fire or a snowy nature scene, a snowman, or a Christmas tree. Students will make multiple prints, donating one to the center for our holiday display in the lobby. Their work will be up from mid-November until early January for everyone at the center to enjoy!

In this beginner class you will create a torch-fired cloisonné disk ready to set into jewelry. Cloisonné is a master’s technique that involves melting

Experience the ancient art of clay cooking vessels! In this class, you’ll hand-build a traditional bean pot using micaceous clay from New Mexico.
