A73 Whimsical Boxes (Semiprivate)

Level A – All levels welcome.

Have a blast learning slab construction to handbuild whimsical boxes. Move from flat to free-standing using simple measurements and your own mirror image flat pattern. Create textured clay slabs to build the box and keep remnant slabs for sculptural elements. You will also learn to construct using clay texturing tools. Glazing for textured surfaces will be taught. These boxes are pure self-expressive whimsy!

Watercolor in Nature

In this course, we will be explorers of the world! We will learn new watercolor techniques as we are inspired by the nature around us. Every day we will take our sketchbooks out to the park and paint from observation, so be sure to wear sunscreen! We will observe and paint Pikes Peak from the park, and we may even find flowers and paint them up close as Georgia O'Keeffe would. So, grab your paints and some paper, and let’s create in nature! Ages 9-12
