Explore expressive techniques and improve painting skills. Expressive painting with a model offers the opportunity to combine non-traditional and traditional techniques resulting in new artwork that pushes boundaries. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate or an advanced artist, you’ll discover expressive techniques on your own and with guidance available when needed. Demonstrations are primarily in oil paint but students are encouraged to work in any medium: acrylic, drawing, gouache, water color.

Sgraffito Techniques -
Surface Design in Clay

Adults
Saturday, April 10 12:00pm-4:00pm
Instructor - Celia Feldberg
$48

Sgraffito, meaning ‘toscratch’ in Italian, is the process of applying a slip or underglaze to an unfired piece,then carving through it to reveal the contrasting clay color beneath. After experimenting with different methods of drawing on clay this has become the primary method that Celia currently uses in her
work. "It’s simple, you can get really nice line qualities, and it feels similar to drawing with a pen on paper."
More about Celia and her work can be found on her website www.celiafeldberg.com
