Attendees must pre-register here: https://www.catalystartscollaborative.com/service-page/guided-acrylics-wed-6-30p

This weekly, drop-in style class is great for beginning acrylic painters to expand their foundational skills while painting along with the instructor. Each week we will focus on a different topic such as depicting the light and form of an object, practicing gradients and color blending, and layering simple shapes. All supplies are included, so you just have to show up and paint! Come as often as you like and as your schedule allows...practice makes better! Professional artist and experienced teacher, Jessica Henry, will be your guide. Ages 14 and up are welcome. Minimal experience with acrylics is helpful, but not required.

Optional items to bring:
- Layered clothing, as the temperatures may be difficult to manage in the building
- Bottled water/beverage

Ages 14+ are welcome! Registration is $30. Register and pay here: https://www.catalystartscollaborative.com/service-page/guided-acrylics-wed-6-30p

Ceramics teach a number of a valuable skills, including perseverance, patience, problem solving, and creativity! Bring your kiddos in to come and play with clay and learn how to use this fun medium to create functional and decorative pieces.

We'll alternate between learning the basics of handbuilding, wheel throwing, and glazing each week, so sign your kids up for multiple sessions to give them the full experience! Each student will proudly come out of class with at least one or two ceramic pieces that they built themselves. Ceramic artists and experienced teachers, Mindy Curran & Ben Alexander, will facilitate this class.

Some weeks, this offering will coincide with our ongoing Figure Painting class, meaning you'll get a sneak peek into the world of life drawing! These artists are okay with a reasonable amount of noise/disruption during class, but we ask everyone to be respectful of other classes. Figure models will wear kid-appropriate attire for these sessions.

Trimming, glazing or underglazing cannot be done on pottery that has just been made; please plan on booking another session to complete any trimming or glazing.

While shelf space is included, we ask that you do not leave projects unattended in the studio for longer than 2 weeks at a time, to ensure we have enough shelf space for those who are actively working on a project. Additionally, please return to pick up finished pieces within 2 weeks of firing.
