This 12-session in-depth sculpting course is designed for horse lovers. 

The goal is to create a 1/6 scale horse sculpture in plasticine clay, suitable for molding and casting.

Each student chooses a pose for their sculpture, whether standing, in motion, or an out-of-the-box expressive design. 

Come share the love of the horse! 

To achieve a good equine sculpture it’s important to understand anatomy, the characteristics of the breed, and also to use practical knowledge of the horse’s behavior and personality. 

We will use a variety of study aids including 3-D models, hand-outs and books. Additional resources from participants are welcome.

Create a Watercolor Batik on Paper – using abstract patterns or patterns from nature

Try your hand at watercolor batik, a modern twist on the ancient Javanese art of batik. You don’t need to know watercolor technique or even how to draw - we’ll work from an image traced onto rice paper and then use melted wax and watercolor to create a final work of art. You will create a patterned batik working with either abstract designs or patterns from nature.

All experience levels welcome!
