Intro to Oils — Level 1

Have you always wanted to learn how to paint with oils, but weren’t sure where to start? This class is for those who are new to painting and uses atelier methods to build a solid foundation for progressing as a painter. Students are taught the wipe out method, a traditional means to create a beautiful value study or as an underpainting for complex works. This method allows students to master value and drawing without the complication of additional colors. Students will learn about warm/cool relations, drawing, proportion, and value.

Bill van Gilder Demonstration Workshop Weekend

Join us in Leesburg, Virginia, for a two-and-a-half day weekend pottery workshop with internationally recognized potter and ceramic artist Bill van Gilder. Every potter has a list of WHAT they want to make. HOW to make it, is often the question. During this two and a half day information-loaded demo-workshop, some 50+ making techniques will be demonstrated in answer to these ‘how-to’ questions — techniques participants will want to use and adjust to fit their own future work. Short cuts, tips, and tool-use at the wheel will be shared through demo after demo. Hand-building functional forms will be the focus during part of the demonstrations as requested, defining projects and techniques for hand-builders. Slide show and wine & cheese reception Friday evening. Demonstrations Saturday and Sunday.
