SUMMARY:INTRO TO ENCAUSTIC with Linda Sirow (a.m.)
DESCRIPTION:Open to Beginners\nAll supplies provided\nParticipants can tour the D’Amico House midweek\n\nThis beginner workshop will survey the fundamentals of encaustic painting\, the ancient technique of using hot wax and pigment. Start by learning to melt\, mix\, and apply wax\, exploring its unique properties and behavior. Then introduce texture\, drawing\, collage\, transfers\, stencils\, and more through guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises to help you gain confidence and creative freedom with this rich\, tactile medium. A critique will be held on the final day of class. \nInstructor: Linda Sirow \nNote: This is an introductory class\, designed for beginners. Returning Encaustic students should enroll in a more advanced workshop. Check out Encaustic Open Studio.

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
