SUMMARY:PIT FIRE CERAMICS with Serina Mayer (p.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: Serina Mayer

SUMMARY:WATER+COLOR with Kirsten Benfield  (a.m.)
DESCRIPTION:Open to all levels\nAll supplies provided\nParticipants can tour the D’Amico House midweek\n\nThis workshop explores traditional transparent watercolor with an emphasis on abstraction and color as sources of inspiration\, supported by art historical references for deeper insight. Through a series of set-ups\, exercises\, and demonstrations\, participants will experiment with washes\, dry brush\, wet-on-wet techniques\, and other water-based pigments\, including gouache\, on a variety of watercolor papers and surfaces to expand abstract and expressive  possibilities. More experienced participants are encouraged to bring the watercolor supplies they already have. A group critique will be held on the final day of class. \nInstructor: Kirsten Benfield
