Description
“If I were unable to speak, I could make something and show it to you, and you would get the idea without my having to verbalize it.”
— Sheila Hicks
How do you maintain a studio practice? Where do you find your artistic community? What do you need to move your work forward in a meaningful way?
This rolling class will help you develop your art-making practice and deepen your connection to your craft. Come curious, and you will learn to think more critically about your work, experiment with new directions in your studio, and share in a community of rigor and support with equally dedicated artists.
Each meeting will begin with a hands-on-making exercise to challenge your assumptions about your creative practice. The second half of each session will be spent in group discussion, where you will share 1-3 pieces of your personal work made outside of class. The time will be divided evenly between each participant, and you will have an opportunity to receive open, honest, and attentive feedback on your artwork. The class will meet every other week, giving you time to reflect on our conversations and create work at your own pace.
This class will cover the following topics:
Level of Study
This class is for individuals with art-making experience interested in developing their personal artistic practice. Foundational knowledge of the materials and techniques an artist uses in their studio is recommended, and the curiosity and drive to create art outside of a classroom setting is a must!
