Watercolor artist, Beth Bale, will be teaching a series of beginner watercolor painting classes, August through November.  These classes are for people who want to learn watercolor techniques and become more confident in their use of this amazing artistic medium.  No experience is necessary.   Students will be taught specific watercolor techniques each class and Beth will do demonstrations of these techniques. Students will create a painting each class as she guides the class in the painting for the day.  The classes will focus on animals, landscapes, and more (with input from the students who sign up).  Classes are fun and supportive.  Beth is an encouraging teacher.

Students will be sent the materials list for the classes so they can have their own supplies or may use Beth’s paints, paper, brushes and palettes for $5/class.  Students using Beth’s 4 basic supplies will still need to bring the other basic items on the materials list.

Cost: $150 for the series of 6 classes (sorry, but there are no refunds for classes missed)

Dates: Sunday, August 30th, September 13th and 27th; October 11th and 25th; and November 8th. Please note these are not consecutive dates.

Time: 4:30pm to 6:30pm

This is an 8 week class.

This class is perfect for beginning to intermediate students. We'll start with the basics of wheel throwing from centering, opening, and shaping of a pot. We'll focus on understanding the basics of making the foundational shape of cylinders first. Once you have achieved those, the world of clay opens up for you!

Students will work at their own pace and level, to learn the skills of the life cycle of a pot from wedging clay, trimming, glazing and finishing. We'll help you at your own level of skill, with group or individual demonstrations as needed. We want to encourage learning, experimenting and improving your technique.
