			Portrait and Figurative Sculpture January 7-9, 2010 (9 AM - 4 PM) — Sculpture is a perfect medium for Susan's expression of her love of people in portrait and figurative sculpture. Sculpting people offers endless subject matter whether it is portrait or figurative. Join Susan and explore these possibilities. No experience is necessary, only a desire to work in clay. We will work with a live model although personal photographs are welcome. Our goal with the portrait sculpture is to learn to attain a likeness of our subject in clay. The focus of the figurative sculpture is working with a live model and building an armature. We will then work with proportions of the human body and the expressive qualities of gestures. The intention of this workshop is to enjoy the process while producing a sculpture.

			Portrait Sculpture January 11-15, 2010 (9 AM - 4 PM) — This workshop is about creating a portrait head, based not only on sole anatomical structure, but also on going beyond structure into modeling. Students will learn techniques for rendering pathos and expression along with an "elusive" likeness. Students will examine what characteristics to look for and to accentuate, and conversely those, which should be down played or subdued. The first half of the class will be dedicated to the portrait in the round, while the second half will focus on the portrait in relief. The portrait in the round will be from a life model, and the bas-relief portrait will be from a photo(s) of the student's choice. The instructor will also discuss how to select the most suitable photos for bas-relief portraiture. Oil or water-based clay.

Portrait, Figure in motion, Children and others. All seasoned with creative expression. Because this class will be limited to 10 students, individual attention will be available whether you are a novice or an advanced sculptor.

			3-D from the Inside Out: Developing Sculptural Form Using Repoussé Techniques January 29-31, 2010 (9 AM - 4 PM) — This workshop will build on the sculpting processes learned in the course "Seeing Is Believing, An Introduction to Sculptural Form Using Ceramic Techniques", which is recommended but not required as a prerequisite. Students will work in water-base clay using slabs to build hollow sculptural forms. We will use the repoussé technique (a traditional metal working technique) of pressing and pushing out volumes from the back side of the slab. The clay comes to life, acting like skin as it stretches over your fingers pushing out the form from the inside out. Ceramic surface finishes will also be discussed and small test pieces will be glaze fired during the workshop. Students may make arrangements to have their larger pieces fired after the workshop ends.

			Small Scale Metal Sculpture and Wearable Art January 30 - March 20, 2010 (Saturdays, 9am-Noon) — Sheet metal presents many exciting options to create sculptural compositions. This class focuses on designing and fabricating layered relief and hollow forms. Students learn to make cold connections and use basic hand tools to create imagery by piercing and cutting the material to achieve intricate designs. Initial studies for compositions are created out of paper, then cost effective options in metal-copper, steel, tin or brass. If desired, the final forms can be translated into silver. Finishing options and basic patinas are introduced. Projects are open ended and self-directed providing opportunities to practice and master each technique. Artists referenced include Cal Lane, Nicole Jacquard, Arthur Hash and many others. Creating a sculpture “in the round” poses interesting challenges, and each medium opens new possibilities for self-expression.

			3-D Design January 31 - April 11, 2010; no class on April 4 (Sundays, 9am-Noon) — This class uses the basic principles of Modernist Sculpture. Each project is a prelude to traditional sculpture processes and building maquettes, such as planar cardboard constructions to be translated into steel public works such as Alexander Calder and Richard Serra. Students explore several mediums to learn the elements of 3D Design. Learning hands-on processes with wire, clay, cardboard and plaster help you understand visual and structural relationships defined by additive and subtractive methods: modeling, carving and fabricated construction. The visual dialogue between form and space is addressed by focusing on line, plane and volume to construct exciting forms. Each project is an opportunity to concentrate on design, process and form with your self-directed interpretation of projects.

			Creativity Expressed through Sculpture March 8-12, 2010 (9 AM - 4 PM) — The value of art is elusive, so how do artists increase the perceived value of their work? This workshop will answer many questions artists face: financial expenditure, galleries, creativity and personal enjoyment, financial security, and how to combine distortion, abstraction and realism to increase the power of your work, just as Michelangelo and Rodin did. Anatomy, composition, negative space and form will be stressed, but the primary goal will be to analyze the intangible aspects of the creative process. Although students will have the opportunity to work from a live model, they will be free to explore any subject because the creative principles will remain constant.
