(1/2 hour lunch break)
ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED
Kalamazoo artist and Frostic School of Art instructor John Kollig paints on mat board with graphite dust, pastels, collage, acrylic gel medium, acrylic paint and more to create dynamic, layered abstract images. Learn to combine many materials and use tools like a plaster knife and rollers for expressive markmaking in this messy hands-on workshop.
Professional potter Dick Lehman will demonstrate 13 on-wheel alteration techniques/tools that can be combined to yield nearly 2,200 different possible outcomes! Learn to make square pots from a round wheel, explore ergonomic sensibilities, and be dazzled by Dick’s “dancing vases on parade.” Students are encouraged to explore, investigate, and find their own voices in clay as they learn from demonstrations, a PowerPoint Presentation, and hands-on work.
