Story
Crowns
with Margaret Couch Cogswell Medium: Books CLASS DESCRIPTION: Come
join me for a fun journey into making a wearable book! Using
wire, fabric, recycled book pages, painting, collage and stitching you
will create a fully functional one of a kind crown that tells a story.
This is a low tech mixed-media process that is appropriate
for all skill levels. It will be a fast paced workshop for those
that like to work across a wide range of materials. Techniques
learned will enable you to expand on your own from this simple
structure to even more bold story crowns. SUPPLIES
TO BRING
Materials fee: $ TBA Bio: "Book"
is the structural form by which I tell stories. I define "book"
broadly and the stories are often written in images rather than words.
Humor and a child-like sensibility become tools to initially
engage my "reader", with more sensitive or sophisticated content
beneath the surface. Without sacrificing craftsmanship, the hand
of the maker is always visible, conveyoing my interest and appreciation
of trhe rough, unpolished moments in our existence.
I received a BA from Rhodes College and continued my education at Rhode Island School of Design. Arrowmont and Penland, where I was also a Resident Artist 2008-2011. I teach throughout the region and my work has been included in several publications, most notably MASTERS: BOOK ARTS, Major Works By Leading Artists. I am currently writing a book on book arts for Lark Books, to be out spring 2013.

FIGURing it Out
with Thaddeus (TJ) Erdahl Medium:
Clay CLASS DESCRIPTION: Explore the
interconnectedness and shifting
dynamic between the figure as subject and the figure as the medium to
facilitate dialogue. Focus on handbuilding processes for creating
figurative ceramic sculpture that is evocative of well-loved toys and
obsolete artifacts. Learn to treat the figure as an artifact,
implying a sense of history, and then get ready to explore new ways to
tell a story by activating the surfaces of these objects. Surface
treatments such as scrafitto, mishima, wax resist etching, underglaze
and slip painting, and low-tech image transfer will be explored.
Bring a sketchbook and assorted brushes, along with an
experimental frame of mind. Beginners who possess strong spirits
are welcome, but some experience is helpful. SUPPLIES

Immersed
in Form & Surface
with Charity Davis-Woodard Medium: Clay CLASS DESCRIPTION: With
the potter's wheel as our primary tool, we'll begin this workshop with
conversations about and practice of formal considerations for making
strong and lively pots. Where does our sense of good form come
from, and why do certain surfaces appeal to one individual and not
another? Altering forms out of round and adding hand-built parts
will provide endless possibilities for metaphorical interpretation and
personal expression. Along the way we will discuss various
surface treatments, such as texture and modeling of soft clay, and once
the pieces are leather hard we'll move into other techniques such as
sgraffito and mishima. Several resist methods will be
demonstrated, including cold wax, stencils, and latex.
Finally, we will discuss printing imagery on clay, and, time permitting, we'll experiment with laser transfers or decals on a fired piece brought from home. Students should leave this workshop with new ideas about forms and surfaces and equipped with the skills to put them into practice! Basic
skills required: Intermediate throwing skills helpful. Charity
has been a full-time studio potter since earning her MFA in 1997 from
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. In her home-based
rural studio she focuses on limited production porcelain functional
pottery that she fires in a Bourry-box style wood kiln. Charity
has taught ceramics for the Saint Louis Community College system and is
a frequent workshop presenter for clay guilds, universities and craft
schools such as Anderson Ranch and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.
Her work can be seen in numerous professional publications,
rivate and public collections, and at exhibitions and gallery events

Painting/Screen Printing, Watercolor/Dye,
Paper/Fabric
with Amie Adelman Medium: Painting on paper/fabric CLASS DESCRIPTION: This exciting new one-of-a-kind
workshop will broaden the knowledge of watercolorists, painters, screen
printers, collage, mixed media, and surface design artists of all
levels. Workshop participants will learn all aspects of painting
and screen printing mechanical and chemical resists, India ink, liquid
watercolors, and dyes on paper and fabric. Artists who are
familiar with painting on paper will be fascinated with the effects
created on silk and artists who are familiar with fabric will love the
opportunity to paint and screen print with dyes on paper. When
the two mediums come together and the techniques unite in unexpected
ways, dynamic compositions occur.
