SUMMARY:PIT FIRE CERAMICS with Leslie Harris (a.m.)
DESCRIPTION:Open to all levels\nAll supplies provided\nParticipants can tour the D’Amico House midweek\n\nThis hand-building clay class offers an exploration into pit fired ceramics\, an ancient method of “baking” clay in a pit fire to produce unpredictable designs\, spectacular colors\, smoky variations and textural imprints. Participants learn basic hand-building techniques to create one or two clay forms conducive to pit firing\, and then learn how elements of earth\, fire\, minerals and organic matter interact to produce unique\, one-of-a-kind effects. Participants load and observe a pit fire on the final day of class\, and pick up their completed pieces the following Monday.  \nThe pacing of this class is guided by the weather\, as clay and drying times shift with the conditions\, and students are encouraged to embrace this natural process and its unpredictable results. \nInstructor: Leslie Harris

SUMMARY:SELF-PORTRAITURE ABSTRACTED with Amy Conway
DESCRIPTION:Open to all levels\, Age 16+\nAll supplies provided\n\nThis one-day workshop will focus on self-portraiture\, in its broadest sense\, as a means of reflection and transformation. Moving beyond traditional self-portraiture\, the goal of this workshop is to delve deeper — exploring the masks that society conditions us to wear\, revealing aspects of ourselves we’ve kept hidden. \nThe workshop will begin with a presentation highlighting artists who explored these themes\, providing context and inspiration. Participants then will be guided by prompts to explore the process of self-expression through art-making practices in charcoal\, watercolor\, pastel\, mirrors\, and other unique materials. Come with a curiosity to look beyond the surface. No drawing experience is necessary. \nInstructor: Amy Conway
