Landscapes: Acrylic Glazing Painting

All Skill Levels, Young Adults & Adults

Instructor: Chester Kasnowski

You will learn to paint in Acrylics with the result looking like an oil

painting. This is accomplished using glazing techniques. The main

advantage of oil paints is its slow drying aspect which allows blending

and oil paints are generally deeper and richer in color. By glazing

Acrylics with gel medium and thin transparent layers you can achieve

rich colors and blend better. And using the fast drying quality of

Acrylic you will be able to finish a painting during each class. The

subject of landscapes is perfect for this technique; allowing the student

to work on location. I will give a brief talk on the day’s task, like

how to paint convincing water, or how to paint dynamic skies and

then I’ll give individual instruction to each student. This allows all

levels of skill to join the class. (Meets in W-10)

results of working out your creative muscle. We will explore the 8

sections of the book, The Artist Within. Participants will share their

Opening the Photographer’s Eye

Intermediate, Young Adults & Adults

Instructor: Mark Gilvey

This class is designed to teach you how to get visual ideas across

through time-tested composition principles. It is for the photographer

who already has a basic understanding of how to use their

camera—not a beginner. Each week will include demonstrations and

discussion about composition principles that will help you communicate

your visual ideas more affectively. We’ll review tools in Adobe

Lightroom for post-processing your images. There are in-class group

activities, weekly assignments with follow-up review and critique, and

fun ongoing out-of-class photography projects for those who can’t

get enough. In short, there will be as much or as little of photography

as your time permits. It does not matter what type of camera you

use as long as you know how to get a good exposure out of it—this

course is not for the absolute beginner. If you own a non-DSLR camera

(like a mobile phone for example) you will be introduced to terms

and techniques that only apply to DSLR camera owners, but don’t let

that deter you—they are minimal. If you want to bring your laptop

and use your own post-processing software and follow along as I

demo Lightroom, you are welcome to do so. The class will have Windows

computers that have Lightroom on them, just bring a thumb

drive from home to transfer your files to the computer. Apple people,

Windows works similar to Mac, I will assist you. Do not take this class

if you want to learn everything there is to know about mobile photography,

Adobe Lightroom or how your camera works. This is a class

about composition that uses Lightroom as a tool, so the work we’ll

do is just enough that students can complete assignments. It is not

a course about how to use your camera although it will be lightly

touched on as needed. (Meets in W-3, 304)

Crystalline Glazes @ Cone 6

Intermediate to Advanced Students

Instructor: Bill Schran

This course is designed to introduce participants to the fascinating

process of crystalline glazes. We will focus on the formulation

of zinc-silicate macro-crystalline glazes fired at cone 6 and discover

how this glaze differs from any other type of glaze. Discussions and

demonstrations will include the types of clays and slips suited for this

process, preparations of bisque pieces for glaze firing, and mixing

and application of the glaze. Exploration of crystalline glaze firing

schedules will lead to an understanding of the importance of the

cooling cycle. Demonstration of post firing completion techniques

with the glazed fired pots will also be provided. We will provide glaze

materials and some glazes for the class. If participants would like to

mix their own glazes (additional materials fee), a respirator with P-100

cartridges is required. Plastic lidded containers (24oz. – 32oz. yogurt/

CERAMICS

Raku: Western Raku

All Skill Levels

Instructor: Bill Schran

The process of raku was developed in Japan in the 1500’s and became

integral as the ceremonial tea ware of the Zen Buddhist Masters.

Tea bowls were made of earthenware and decorated with lowfire

lead bearing glazes. The tea bowls were fired in small kilns fueled

by charcoal, removed from the kiln with tongs when the glaze has

melted, then allowed to cool naturally. The Western raku process

shares the rapid firing and removal of pieces from the kiln when the

glaze is melted, but that’s where the processes take different paths.

Western raku employs a post-firing reduction process. When the red

hot pots are removed from the kiln, they are placed in a can of combustible

material and a lid is placed over the can to seal it shut. By

smothering the flames, a carbon filled smoky atmosphere within the

can is created. This causes copper bearing glazes to turn from oxidized

green to reduced red colors. Any areas of bare clay will turn

black. Workshop participants should prepare 5–6 pots for the raku

process. Use of Soldate 60 clay is highly recommended, or any clay

labeled as raku clay with sand and/or grog in it. All pots MUST be

bisque fired prior to the evening glazing session of the workshop.

Processes

All Skill Levels

Instructor: Bill Schran

Since the development of Western Raku in the 1960’s potters have

been exploring a variety of techniques that employee the basic raku

firing process but developing ways of creating a decorative surface

without the use of glazes. During this workshop we will be firing the

pots as one would for a raku firing. Since we will not be using glazes

on the pots, it is suggested that terra sigillata be used for a more

refined finished appearance, though this is not required. Participants

will be introduced to the following techniques: Foil Saggar, Horse

Hair, Feather decoration and Obvara Firing. Participants should prepare

6 – 8 pots. Pots based on the cylinder form are highly recommended

with openings at the rim large enough in diameter to be

grasped with tongs. All supplies will be provided.

Intermediate to Advanced Students

Instructor: Brian Grow

This hands-on workshop will enable you to conceive of a way to

make larger work within your skill level. I will demonstrate techniques

that will empower you to think along different tangents, explore

subtle aesthetics and have a laugh as you challenge yourself. That’s

right; I said laugh. We’ll explore composite forms, stacked vessels,

coil throwing and all manner of craziness. Throughout this session we

will also consider the marriage of form and firing technique. I believe

this to be an idea that we should all consider as makers of thoughtful

objects. It will be fun and informative.

and workspace(s) in each classroom. Our studio facility is also comprised

of nine private or shared studio spaces, home for our glass resident artists,

whose works range from the functional to the sculptural. The facility

also houses our retail glass gallery for the exhibition and sale of resident

artists’ artworks.

GLASS CLASSES

The Workhouse is proud to offer a variety of classes for ages 13 and older

in kiln casting and forming, glass jewelry, fusing, stained glass, flameworking

and mosaics. Our instructors are emerging, pre-professional or

professional glass artists and/or glass art educators. As is our goal with

all of our visual arts classes, each student is given individual attention

and provided a wide array of philosophies and techniques for accomplishing

their individual goals and complementing their work in glass.

Independent Flame

This class is perfect for the advanced student or glass artist who prefers

to work independently or alongside other advanced and experienced

flame workers. Each participant is requested to share a short

presentation on any flameworking topic to their fellow classmates

(e.g., a specific forming, shaping or color application technique). Participants

are given a 27-hour pass which they can use during any time

that Open Studio or another Independent Flame slot is available.

The Workhouse Arts Center Art of Movement program features

innovative approaches to health and wellness including a variety

of traditional mind-body offerings. Mind-body medicine uses the

power of thoughts and emotions to influence physical health. As

good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical

physical exercise save it and preserve it.”

Our facilities include seven beautiful studios for both private and

group classes. The Pilates studios feature state of the art equipment

with full repertoire apparatus. Our unique program also

features classes in Australian Calisthenics, Rowing, Cycling, and

Surfset.

body through developing strength, exibility and the mind-body connection.

in the body. It is appropriate for any type of mobility, whether

wheelchair or ambulatory.

No experience is required to

Pilates is a unique workout that focuses on core stability while using

controlled movements to condition the body. Emphasis is placed on

breathing and quality of form. While abdominal and postural muscles

are strengthened, the body also improves in exibility. Regular practice

Hulau Hula O Ke Anuenue Punahele

(Hula Instruction)

The student learns to appreciate hula, music, history, culture and

traditions. Hula embraces the physical, mental and emotional aspect

of the dancer. The cultural history of each mele (song) will be

vocabulary and style.

Zen•ga

ZEN•GA is a synergistic blend of mind-body modalities, supported

by exercise science and the newest findings in fascial fitness. ZEN

represents the search for inner discovery, while YOGA symbolizes a

pathway to reach it. Together they form ZEN•GA, which is based on

Four Mindful Movement Principles: breath, support, yield and flow.

When applied together, these principles bring awareness of how the

body and the mind move in tandem. ZEN•GA focuses on core stability,

stamina and resilience while attaining a state of presence. The

increase in demand on the neuromuscular system affords the benefits

of improved strength, enhanced elasticity and creates a more

youthful, resilient and uid body.

Children’s Hula

Hula classes for children (keiki) from ages 3 to 15 years. New students

must be able to participate in the class by themselves. Basic

hula steps and hand motions are taught separately, using Hawaiian

brothers, and learning Hawaiian language and songs.

Taijiquan Kung Fu also called Tai Chi Chuan (Tai Chi) is a Chinese

martial art which means “Supreme Ultimate Boxing.” It is an exercise

system for relaxation, health and self-defense. It consists of

slow, circular hand, foot and body movements. It can be described

as swimming in water. Anyone, regardless of age or physical ability,

can practice Tai Chi. The Cheng Man Ch’ing Form (also known as the

Yang Style Short Form -37) will be taught. For those interested, the

martial arts and self defense application of each posture will also be

covered.

Bodyblade

Bodyblade will provide you with a results-oriented workout that

is functional, connecting muscle, joints and body segments for a

safe, fun, and, most importantly, effective training experience! This

30-minute session will take you through a combination of core stability

exercises with both upper (shoulder stability) and lower body

(hip, knee and ankle stability) moves to give you a stronger and more

stable body. Best of all, you will almost immediately notice improved

wellness, balance, coordination and muscle definition, as well as

greater exibility and posture. And anybody can do it! This method

of vibration training is simple and powerful, no matter what your

fitness level, age, gender or previous training experience. In fact,

Bodyblade automatically adjusts to the fitness level of each user to

guarantee success in training.

Australian Calisthenics

Calisthenics is an artistic sport unique to Australia. It combines

dance, gymnastics, singing, apparatus manipulation and ballet, and

is performed in theatres. It involves a team of pupils learning routines

choreographed to music—each of about three to four minutes

in duration—and presenting those routines at concerts. Pupils learn

approximately six routines concurrently throughout a year and this is

where the diversity of the sport is seen. Calisthenics can be categorised

as both a sport and an art. As a sport, it encourages physical

development, coordination, self-discipline and team spirit. As an art,

it develops an appreciation of music and rhythm, the beauty of line

and the excitement of presenting on stage.

Essential Oils Workshops

& Aromat Yoga Series

Instructor: Marilyn Peppers

Aromatherapy is derived from the ancient practice

of using natural plant essences to promote

health and well-being. It consists of the use of

pure essential oils obtained from a wide assortment

of plants, which have been steam distilled

or cold-pressed from flowers, fruit, bark

and roots. Aromatherapy can help ease a wide

assortment of ailments; easing aches, pains,

and injuries, while relieving the discomforts

of many health problems. Aromatherapy also
