À La Carte Art
|
A la Carte Art is a fun way for adults to experiment with new art media and discover what you like best. (It’s also great for those of us with hectic or unpredictable schedules!)
We’ll offer two lessons per week (Tuesdays from 8:30 - 10 am, and Fridays from 4 - 5:30 pm) in a variety of art media. Your A la Carte Art pass enables you to attend up to 5 classes over the course of 8 weeks! You can pick and choose which ones you’d like to attend (see project dates below.) After purchasing, you will receive a punch card that will expire exactly 8 weeks from the date you purchase it. You will need to present this card at each class you attend, and your instructor will hole-punch your card each time. After your card is expired or after you have attended 5 classes, you are more than welcome to purchase another for the following 8 weeks/5 more classes! There will be a maximum amount of students allowed in each class, and spots will be available on a first come, first serve basis for those with cards. All classes will be held at the 2109 Cottle Drive facility. |

Kurinuki Mugs with Adriana Cristal

This method involves shaping a solid block of clay and carving out a vessel.
