Instructor - Emily Passman
​

Join us for a partial semester to develop a painting from photographic inspiration! Using a photo only as a reference and starting point, students will be pushed to take some chances and break through fears about their painting process. Through a series of demonstrations and exercises, students will be guided to find fresh ways of seeing an old photo through cropping, inventing color, and creating composition. This class will help you to loosen up and follow new techniques to bring more expression and immediacy to your work. This class is ideal for painters with some experience, whether recent or returning to the craft after a break! A required materials list is available here.

​

Join us for this partial semester class, perfect for dipping your toe into painting with gouache. Through this class, students will learn about basic painting techniques, and experiment with gouache’s unique characteristics. As a water-based paint, gouache is a versatile medium and often used due to its resolubility and easy set-up and clean-up process. Perfect for a looser style, students can build up layers to develop color and viscosity while maintaining an opaque, matte finish. Ideal for beginners, with all experience levels welcome.

Monotype Printmaking
Age 16+, including Adults
Tuesdays, 3:30PM - 6PM
October 21 - November 18, no class 11/11 (Partial semester)
Instructor - Stephanie Stigliano
$204 + $25 materials fee

This partial semester class will provide an overview of monotype, or monoprint, printmaking techniques. Known as “the painterly print”, students will utilize botanical imagery and color palettes to create a print that is unique every time. Painting techniques such as layering and color theory can enhance the prints, using soft printing papers that lend themselves to soft transitions, high contrast, and delicate lines. Students can expect to create a few unique compositions, or use the printing press and “ghost” prints to build up the same composition in differing ways.
​All experience levels are welcome, and ideal for any type of painter. The printmaking studio utilizes non-toxic materials; all students are asked to review the 2025-26 printmaking studio guidelines (provided upon registration) ahead of their first class in the space.

Relief Printmaking
Age 16+, including Adults
Tuesdays, 6:30PM - 9PM
October 21 - November 18, no class 11/11 (Partial semester)
Instructor - Stephanie Stigliano
$204 + $25 materials fee

This partial semester class will introduce relief style printmaking, made by carving shapes into a plate. Studying the styles and techniques of both historic and contemporary printmakers, students will be challenged to identify characteristics and styles, in order to then develop their own unique compositions. With two linoleum blocks to carve, this class will allow students to expand their printmaking skills with line, shape, patterns, and form - while also learning a bit about art history too!
