This course breaks down the process of portraiture into manageable steps—from blocking in basic shapes, establishing accurate proportions using reference points, to building up value progressions. You’ll learn the best way to approach each stage of a portrait, from initial sketch to final details. We begin by working from photo references to develop your ability to capture likeness, culminating in a live model session. Whether you prefer to sketch loosely or render in detail, you'll learn techniques that adapt to your artistic goals. Model fee included

Bring a touch of handmade charm into your home or garden with a pair of ceramic bird vessels crafted by you! In this beginner-friendly workshop, participants will learn handbuilding techniques to create two unique bird-inspired forms that can be used as small planters or decorative dishes.

You’ll begin by shaping and texturing slabs of clay using stamps and hand tools to build expressive surface designs. Then, using simple handbuilding methods, you’ll construct and refine a matching pair of ceramic birds, exploring form, balance, and playful detail along the way.

All tools and materials are provided. Finished pieces will be fired and ready for pickup at a later date.
