SUMMARY:SAND CASTING with Christopher Kohan (p.m.)
DESCRIPTION:Open to all levels\nAll supplies provided\nParticipants will tour the D’Amico House midweek to view Mabel D’Amico’s cast artworks\n\nInspired by Mabel D’Amico’s cast sculptures\, this workshop explores the hands-on process of sand casting in which objects and textures are pressed into sand to create molds that are then filled with plaster or cement to form sculptural pieces and reliefs. Participants explore texture\, composition\, and form while transforming everyday and found materials into expressive three-dimensional works. This class is weather-dependent\, and participants will work in the studio and outside. A critique will be held on the last day of class.  \nInstructor: Christopher Kohan

SUMMARY:MOBILES & STABILES with Laura Lyn Stern (a.m.)
DESCRIPTION:Open to all levels\nAll supplies provided\nParticipants will tour the D’Amico House to view Mabel D’Amico’s mobiles & stabiles\n\nThis sculpture class will focus on designing mobiles and stabiles using both found and altered mixed-media elements. Through experimentation with materials such as wire\, plaster gauze\, and lightweight structural elements\, participants will explore basic balance and construction engineering to create dynamic hanging or standing forms that respond to movement\, weight\, and air. A critique will be held on the last day of class.  \nInstructor: Laura Lyn Stern

DESCRIPTION:Previous Encaustic Experience Required\nSome materials provided; Bring your own wood panels/encaustic boards\, encaustic paint and medium\n\nDesigned for students with prior Encaustic experience\, this week-long open studio provides dedicated time to work independently and deepen your encaustic practice. Participants are free to develop their own ongoing projects in a focused studio environment without an instructor. The Art Barge will provide heated palettes/hot plates and tools\, but participants must bring their own wood panels/encaustic boards\, encaustic paint\, and medium. Enrollment is limited to students with previous encaustic experience to ensure a safe and focused studio environment. \nAn instructor will be available for one-on-one questions\, support\, and feedback on Wednesday\, September 9th\, 2:00pm – 3:00pm.  \nNote: This Studio is designed for students with previous Encaustic experience.

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

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

DESCRIPTION:Open to all levels\nAll supplies provided\nParticipants can tour the D’Amico House midweek\n\nExplore the alchemy of the ancient art of wet-felting\, the process of blending wool fibers together using bubble wrap\, soap\, water and elbow grease to create an incredibly strong and versatile fabric. Participants will be introduced to the basic techniques of laying out wool fiber and processing the material into both 2 and 3 dimensional felted objects\, and explore incorporating a variety of materials and techniques for surface embellishments. A critique will be held on the last day of class. \nInstructor: Kerry Sharkey-Miller
