Sculpture for the Outdoor Environment SC02SU09
Instructor: Karen Rossi
Monday afternoons, 4:00-6:00 (June 22-July 27)
Join us to explore the world of sculpture and create pieces for the outdoor environment.  Students will learn to combine cement, mosaic, glass, wood, sheet metal and other materials to create a unique garden sculpture that will add a personal touch to your outdoor living spaces.  The class will cover the basic principles and elements of sculptural design as students recycle, reuse and transform found objects into works of art.  The first project will be a mosaic birdhouse and future projects are up to the students but could include mobile or chime sculpture.  Please bring in any objects you'd like to include in your sculpture.   Materials for one project included, other materials available for purchase from instructor.
Six sessions: $120; members: $108

Figure Modeling: Firing & Patina SC03SU09
Instructor: Susan Clinard
Tuesday evenings, 6:30-9:30 (June 23 – July 28)
This figure sculpting class will approach figure modeling in a new, exciting and more immediate fashion. Students will work in water-based clay with little to no armature required and their pieces will be fired independently of CAW in a new and unique approach. Students will be encouraged to work on the basic anatomical form/proportion as well as recognize the movement and expression of each pose. Students will have a finished piece to learn from and take home. Patinas will also be covered in this class. Portrait busts are optional. Beginners and advanced students welcome.
Six sessions: $225; members: $203
