Lyons - Warrior Soul Gallery & Community Studio

This is a fun class for absolute beginners wanting to learn to crochet!

We'll learn about crochet hooks, yarns, pattern reading and, of course, simple stitches. We'll complete a simple project and set you on a path to creativity and satisfaction with your own crochet projects.

Given our small class size, attendees will receive lots of individual attention. They will also receive a thorough 7-page handout prepared by the instructor.

This is a 3-part workshop; please be sure that you are able to attend all three sessions:

12:00-2:00pm on...

Saturday, January 17th
Saturday, January 24th
Saturday, January 31st

With guidance from local Lyons artist Amanda Anderson, during this workshop you will have the opportunity to finish an 8x10" oil painting. Using water-mixable oils, we will learn about different mediums, mixing color, canvas prep and brush techniques. According to Amanda, this class "is definitely for someone who wants to learn the basics of realistic oil painting."

The primary teaching method that Amanda uses is the "Alla Prima Method" (Italian for "first attempt.") That means that you will complete your painting in a single session, with a "wet on wet" approach to finishing your work. (Psst: there are no grades or critiques here - just come with a willingness to learn and have fun!) 😊🎨

A favorite in our studio - Cristina Trapani-Scott will return on Sunday, January 18th from 1-3pm for another print making & stamp carving workshop! You will learn how to creative linocut-type prints using rubber blocks and basic linocut carving tools. (Note: these aren't the grey-colored linoleum blocks that we used in the 80s. You'll carve a buttery-soft eraser-type material which makes the experience a lot more enjoyable.)

Stamps large and small can stand on their own in a print on paper piece or can be used to embellish other mixed media pieces. We will learn carving techniques as well as about inks and inking techniques.

Event cost $45- you purchase supplies: Carving Tools (speedball with red handle is best), Rubber for Carving, Acrylic-based inks for Printing.
Event cost with supplies included $70

Come and discover the world of mosaics in this introductory 2-day workshop!

Participants will choose to make either a 12 x 12 stepping stone or 12 x 12 translucent window. You will learn about tools, cutting techniques, safety techniques, gluing and grouting methods. Book your calendar for Tues 1/20 and Thurs 1/22 11:00a - 3:30p (both days.)

This two-part class will support artists in creating their mosaic in the first class and complete the grouting process in the second class. (If students need to use both classes for the creation of the mosaic, this is absolutely doable. They will watch the grouting demonstration and be given the supplies to finish it at home.)

This is a great refresher course for those who have dabbled previously in mosaics prior, or a fantastic opportunity for a newbie. Come to class with inspiration and get ready to have fun!
