Additionally, art enthusiasts eager to explore color will not want to miss “Exploring Color Theory in Landscape Painting,” where participants will learn about color theory through direct painting experiences. For those interested in figurative art, the “Exploring Narrative Through the Figure” class, led by instructor Sina Bennett, allows participants to create sculptures that convey deep emotion and storytelling. Jewelry-makers can hone their skills in the “Finding Bits and Bobs” class, focusing on intricate design details.
For individuals new to glassmaking, the “Intro to Fused Mosaics” class provides a beginner-friendly introduction to creating functional art from various materials, including recycled elements.
