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

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

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.

Raku: Non-traditional Alternative
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.

Increasing Scale
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.

Saggar Firing with Aluminum Foil
Beginner to Advanced Students
Instructor: Paul Lyon
During this workshop we will explore, discuss and try a variety of
possibilities using aluminum foil as a saggar in this alternative firing
method. Discussion will cover the types of clay used as well as throwing,
trimming and burnishing. We will prepare the pieces using a
variety of materials (salt, sugar, copper wire, horsehair, miracle grow,
toilet paper and other strange things) and discuss different firing
temps. Clean up and finishing of work is a vital part of this process.
Participants should bring small to medium size work which has been
burnished and bisque fired. (Low temp bisque will retain the smooth
burnished surface better. I suggest cone 015.) All necessary materials
will be supplied, except pots to be fired. Participants should come
prepared with closed toed shoes, respirator, natural cotton clothing,
a bag lunch, and a sketchbook. Pieces will be ready to take home.

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.

physical exercise save it and preserve it.”

discussed, emphasizing how background is embedded in the dance
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
words, games and chants to focus and practice. Hawaiian stories and
sometimes crafts are incorporated to learn about the Hawai- ian culture.
We have a circle time for getting to know all hula sisters and
brothers, and learning Hawaiian language and songs.
Ballroom
Learn how to cha-cha, waltz, foxtrot, swing and more! Learn the first
five basic steps of each dance in the beginning ballroom and then
learn the rest of the steps in intermediate ballroom. Feel your confidence
grow as you move, step, swirl and spin around the floor!
Tai Chi
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.

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.

Facilitator: Brad Waller
Instructors: Paul Volpe, Steve Hick, Joshua Badgley, James Clark
“Bumpers” at Workhouse is a simple gathering of friends getting together to explore
the Art of the Sword. This studio class is designed to provide an opportunity
for master teachers, researchers, and movement artists to get together and share in
the wealth and depth of knowledge that is found in the historical traditions and fighting
techniques from around the world. Our hope is to create a forum in which we can
develop our skills in the Art of the Swordand learn from one another. “Bumpers” is a
physical journey that will create an opportunity to explore historical material on the
highest possible level with the most experienced scholars and professionals of our
craft. Develop in each other a comprehensive under- standing of our research, techniques
and process. The idea is to create a kind of “collective educational format”
that will allow the studio to serve the project participants through the entire year, in
a journey of personal growth in scholarship, technique and process.

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
acts on the central nervous system, relieving
depression and anxiety, reducing stress, relaxing,
uplifting, sedating or stimulating, restoring
both physical and emotional well-being.
