SUMMARY:Light Fantastic with Betsey MacDonald
DESCRIPTION:Light Fantastic with Betsey MacDonald \nTuesdays\, March 17\, 24\, 31 & April 7 from 10:00AM–1:00PM (4 classes) \nIntermediate to Advanced Levels \n‘To me\, every square inch of a painting space is about light and dark. Understanding light is the foundation of our art. Without it there is no contrast\, no color\, no vision. In this class we will continue to explore light and how it emerges through color theory. Join us to investigate how the variety of watercolor techniques\, particularly the use of transparent layers will allow us to create our own light inspired visions. This class is a continuation of “See The Light” but newcomers are more than welcome!’ \nMATERIALS LIST\nMaterials student will need to provide: :  watercolor set(an inexpensive tray is fine but a set of tubes with palette is great\, too)\, variety of brushes\, masking fluid\,  watercolor block or pad(at least 140 lb\, 8x 10\, 12 x 16\, 16 x 20 or a few sheets with a gator foam board for stapling or some other support  or 300 lb paper which doesn’t need mounting\,  hot or cold press or even rough can work\, jar or two for water\, spray bottle\, sponge or two\, #2 pencil or mechanical pencil\, paper towels.  Several printed 8 x 10  photos taken by the student of light on the subjects of choice. Betsey will be bringing grapes and oranges etc for the first class. \n$170 Members | $200 Non-members \nCLASS REGISTRATION – CURRENT MEMBERS \nCLASS REGISTRATION – NON-MEMBERS

SUMMARY:Textile Shibori Designs with Ann Bianchi
DESCRIPTION:Textile Shibori Designs with Ann Bianchi \nSaturday\, March 21 10:00AM–2:00PM (1 class\, 4 hours with a lunch break) \nFabrics from natural cellulose fibers (cottons\, linens and silks) will be our “canvases” as we experiment with historical and cultural resist methods. Working in the styles of Japanese Arashi Shibori and Itajime Shibori\, we’ll add colorants from liquid acrylics to white cloth for fantastic results.  Beautifully prepared cloth will be matted in class and prepared for framing as a piece of art.  In this workshop Ann will provide multiple demonstrations and guidance as students work together on each method while also enjoying some historical cultural information shared during demonstrations. Use different fabric sizes in the workshop and note the various effects.  Be prepared to be amazed with your results\, have fun and witness colors merging onto the textiles as they take on a life of their own!   No prior experience needed. All skills are welcome.  A $10 Supply fee (including all materials) including fabrics and  finished frame mats. \n$80 Members | $110 Non-members +$10 Supply Fee (paid to Ann in class includes all supplies for this one-day class)  \nCLASS REGISTRATION – CURRENT MEMBERS \nCLASS REGISTRATION – NON-MEMBERS
