Pottery
– Exploring Closed Forms
Age: 16 +
This 3-session hands-on wheel course explores closed forms and the many
types of pots that can be made from this technique. Throwing closed forms takes
practice. Students should be comfortable throwing and shaping cylinders and
collaring the clay to close the form. The main focus of the class will be
trimming and finishing techniques used to create lidded pots (including the
“chopstick” box), flower arrangers and decorative objects from the closed form
once the clay is leather hard. Prerequisite: beginner or intermediate wheel at
Sertoma or Pullen Arts Center. Tina Granville instructs.

Oil Painting & Drawing – The
Portrait
Draw and paint a portrait from life. Our drawings will be a tool that we’ll
use to complete the painting. We’ll use short gesture and longer poses to
understand our subjects. After several drawing studies, we will turn our focus
to the values of the head. This is an extremely helpful step when translating
color into values. Starting with easy foundation color recipes and working in
our shades, middle tones and highlights, this workshop will also utilize many
application techniques to establish the essence and personality of our
subjects. Live models will pose as the instructor guides you with several
demonstrations, resource materials and one-on-one critiques. This is an
advanced workshop and students should bring their own supplies. Demos will be
done in graphite, charcoal and oil paints. Supply list available on Sertoma's web
page. Leslie Pruneau instructs.
