4 weeks
Fridays, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM | July 25, August 1, 8, and 15

This series of classes will explore several ways of printing monotypes by hand on Japanese papers as well as printing on the studio etching press.
Last year’s exhibition, About Printmaking, created interest in other processes such as carborundum aquatint and drypoint and these techniques used by artists from Rembrandt to Joan Mitchell, will be combined with monotype to create a series of unique monoprints.
Non-toxic inks will be used where the solvent for clean-up is Dawn detergent. Therefore, artists will work in a fume-free environment.
No previous printmaking experience is necessary.

Using clay to create sculpture is a way to explore three dimensions with one’s fingertips. Whether working from a live model, a plaster cast, or one’s imagination, the hand and eye internalize knowledge about proportion, relationship, gesture, and anatomy. Members of the class are free to discover their own interpretation of the subject. We work in water-based clay. A model will be provided. The instructor will work with each student individually.
Mary E. Adams works in various media including clay, bronze, oil, watercolor and pastel. She began her study of art in Paris in 1972. Returning home to Savannah in the mid’70s, she studied oil painting with noted Georgia artist, Augusta Oelschig. She moved to New York in 1981 and for three and a half years studied drawing and painting at The Art Student’s League where she is a life member. During that time, she was involved in several Off Broadway theatre projects.
Since the ‘90s, she has created sculptures in clay and limited edition bronzes. She has participated in numerous invitational showings. Her work is in private collections in Auckland, New Zealand, New York, Washington, DC, Boston, Hollywood, Savannah and Litchfield County, CT.
She has taught sculpture at Washington Art Association since 2013. Her works of sculpture are represented in the Low Country by Four Corners Gallery in Bluffton, SC.

Paradox by Maritza
“A look into the symbiotic nature of life and death. This piece looks to give the audience a choice in what they see as life or death and how that choice changes the viewer experience as a whole.”

Supply List – Colored Pencil for Botanical Art with Teresa Goetz.pdf
Colored pencils are a perfect medium to draw botanical subjects, especially for the beginner. By using methodical techniques like tonal variation, light and shadow and building layers, easy to draw shapes will become realistic botanicals. In a non-threatening environment, you’ll be taught and then guided through exercises to understand materials and methods, light on form to create realistic 3D images, then the use of blending and color layering on the 3D form. Line drawings will be provided or, you can draw the subjects on your own. Come join us as we explore the meditative process of using colored pencils for botanical art.
