These workshops are offered tuition free. Class size is 10 participants.
Workshops listed below.
Art for Vets: Beginning Printmaking with Kate Hanlon
Thursday, June 15
10:30 am to 3:30 pm
There is always a bit of magic when printmaking. Linocut and monotype are versatile, easy, and fun methods of printmaking that can be combined to create unique images. Participants will learn simple processes of carving linoleum, rolling ink, and printing by hand versus through the press. All materials provided.
Art for Vets: Hand-building with Clay – Exploring Texture with Claire Provencher
Thursday, July 20
10:30 am to 3:30 pm
Join clay artist Claire Provencher and experience the endless possibilities of hand-building using slabs of clay. Slab construction allows the surface to have textures pressed into it using special clay tools and everyday objects, such as leaves, plants, fabric, kitchen utensils, and jewelry. Participants will be inspired by the work of Claire Provencher, the Currier’s collection, and beyond. All materials provided.
*Student work will be fired and glazed for participants to pick up at a later date.
Art for Vets: Pen, Ink, and Watercolor with Sandee Nichols
Thursday, August 24
10:30 am to 3:30 pm
The pen, ink, and watercolor combination is a favorite among mixed media. It combines the contrast of opaque, solid pen or ink marks and watercolor paint’s flowing, light quality. Experiment with watercolor washes to use effectively as a background and various other pen and ink drawing techniques. Ideas and inspiration from the Currier’s collection will be available for class use. The results will be both contemporary and traditional. All materials provided.
