Join Cath Connolly Hudson’s Saturday Sojourn workshop to explore the Post impressionistic styles of pattern and interior scenes. We’ll explore the interior paintings of Bonnard and Matisse and create our own modern version.

During this three day workshop, your instructor, Cath Connolly Hudson will guide you through the fundamentals of painting as well as introduce you to concepts of Impressionistic style. You will explore how to use color for emotional expression and how to describe light and space. Whether you are coming back to painting or just beginning this workshop is for you.

During this 2-day, hands-on, intensive workshop with Eck McCanless, participants will learn how to make Agateware on the wheel and carve it to reveal patterns similar to wood grain or peacock feathers. I will go over all the tips and tricks I have learned from being a professional potter for the past 30 years with a sole focus on Agateware for the past 13.

Class Schedule: 9 AM–Noon & 1 PM–4 PM
