Drop in to participate in this community collaboration linocut workshop! Each participant will be assigned one 4X4 inch square section of a 16X20 inch block of linoleum to carve. Imagery for the workshop has been provided by local artist Jude Tolar, whose piece “Sunflower Power” will be used as a template for carving. Each section of the block will be a unique take on Tolar’s pastel painting, and our printing assistant, Jenn Johnson, will be available to demonstrate various carving techniques. At the end of the workshop the entire block will be printed by Johnson, and each participant will receive one signed black and white print from the edition. Carving time will take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours per section, and example imagery will be provided to help guide participants. Workshop is for all ages; however carving tools are very sharp so artists under 13 years of age will require parental supervision.

Art Under Glass - Pastel Workshop with Jude Tolar
Learn to see and render glass and other reflective subject matter.
Clear glass may seem an elusive subject. Its transparent or translucent nature can, however, be translated to paper or canvas when you know how to look and see.
In this workshop you will learn to see the unique–and sometimes subtle–visual information of glass subjects. This information will help you create the forms in your artwork.
We’ll work from life with various objects, using careful observation of light and dark values, hues, edges and more. We’ll study and paint clear glass and colored glass. Glass subject matter will be provided. You are also welcome to bring a glass object you are interested in painting.
