We love to see the work our members do and get inspired by them frequently. On this form, Leigh used underglaze transfers and then glazed over them. So beautiful.

Weave your way into the community here at the Clay School of Ithaca!

Get a taste of weaving with this try-it class! Through a small project participants will learn a quick and easy way to direct warp a rigid heddle loom, experiment with different types of weaving fiber and learn about different weft-faced weaving techniques and patterns to incorporate. Skills from this class can be the foundation for the intermediate weaving classes and projects.

Hosted by Laura Ballard

Where: Clay School of Ithaca
Cost: $50-$70 (however much you can pay)

Loose and Relaxed Florals: a four-week acrylic painting class starts this week!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
This four week class will meet once per week for 2 hours, 15 minutes. For the first hour, there will be a short demonstration, then we will paint floral compositions together using a physical floral arrangement for reference. Then we'll break for a snack, and paint again during the last hour.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN TUITION:
All materials are provided for use during class, including substrates (canvas and wood panel), brushes, paints and easels.

**For a $5 paint fee per session, (pre-registration required) there will be access to the room, easels and materials on Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10am-1pm while class is in session. (TUESDAYS: 9/15, 9/22, 9/29 and WEDNESDAYS: 9/16, 9/23, 9/30)
**No instruction will be available during these times.

WHAT TO BRING:
Everyone is encouraged to bring a simple dinner and drink for our break each week. I hope we can talk and get to know each other better during these breaks.
WHAT WE WILL PRODUCE:
11X14 cradled wood panel
12X24 wrapped canvas panel
16X20 wrapped canvas panel
Each student will start 3 floral paintings during the class, which you will keep. (Some students may finish all of their paintings by week 4, while others will need to finish on their own, after the class has ended. This would require you to purchase your own paints and brushes, as all materials except your substrates will belong to the studio.)
