The beauty of metal inlay arrives from the color contrast of two metals coming together to create a design. While exploring basic metal inlay techniques, you will create interesting patterns using sheet and wire silver, copper, and/or brass to develop a pendant or piece for future jewelry-making projects. Soldering skills and knowledge of the torch is a must to achieve an intricate design. If you have minimal experience, you will be challenged to improve your skills during this class. Please see the student material list for more detail.

Learn to make an original strip quilt using your scraps and stash in a fun, peaceful environment under an outdoor grass chickee hut at the Lighthouse ArtCenter! We will work spontaneously and intuitively, trusting the process and building your design with strips and/or blocks of fabric. Learn to understand how your fabrics talk to one another! This technique will be the starting point to unlocking your own creative expressions. We’ll also work with some mark making and free writing, to develop simple graffiti additions. Composition, color, and fabric personalities will be discussed. This will be a fast, fun, and addictive process with wonderful results. The project size chosen should be no larger than 18" x 24" and is for a wall hanging.

This workshop will introduce students to incorporating Thurmanite and microhardware into their jewelry designs. Thurmanite is a layered, composite material made of recycled paper and eco-resin that has the appearance of stone, but is very lightweight and wearable. Microhardware is a cold-joining technique that is very versatile due to its threaded connections. Combined, they add a myriad of possibilities to a jeweler's approaches. The first day of the workshop will focus on transforming pre-made Thurmanite blanks into jewelry components. The second day of the workshop will focus on microhardware and how to use it in combination with Thurmanite. Students will have the opportunity to complete either a variety of samples or finished jewelry, depending on their interests.

Capture the likeness of a model and give life to the portrait, to transcend anatomical resemblance. Day one, we will start with a compositional pencil sketch, and paint the composition in black and white directly onto the canvas or board, using ink and diluted white acrylic. When dry, we will apply a wash or glaze with light green or blue pigment. Day two, we will add a warm glaze to the canvas with light red ochre pigment. Serge will give a 30-minute demonstration on how to mix colors to make harmonious flesh tones. Then we will start building volume by adding shadows which should be apparent under the two glazes and light with thicker paint, combining warm and cold colors. Day three will be devoted to working on details in the portrait - in particular the eyes, the muscles of the face, and the expression of the mouth, going as far as possible to bring out the life and likeness of the sitter.

The basic principle of figure painting relies on well-designed shapes of light and dark, which allow for the description of beautiful form. We will separate two difficulties by first addressing drawing and design, and secondly developing color to its completion. This approach helps to unify your painting by relating the major masses in terms of color and value.
By creating a simple value plan, you'll learn how to break down the fundamental form of the figure into large shapes or masses. There will be instruction on how to mix clean color in the correct value and temperature in order to create the illusion of light on the figure. Eli will demonstrate and explain her methods throughout the day and work one-on-one with each student. The focus will be on achieving accurate drawing and correct values - two of the most crucial aspects of representational painting. Other topics to include: gesture, form, varying edges.
