Art workshops at The Bascom
There will be an array of upcoming artisan and craft workshops at The Bascom in Highlands.
• Barry Gregg Resident Artist Series from 10 a.m. to noon July 2 and 9. Participants will explore hand-building techniques through form and surface to create a birdhouse and a pitcher. Cost is $25 per class. Clay fee not included.
• Graphite Portrait Drawing with Nick Raynolds from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 6-10. Working from the life model, students will learn a number of conceptual and practical tools by which to better solve the observational and practical problems associated with naturalistically depicting the human face and head. While seeking to grasp the character of the sitter, students will develop drawings from the block-in stage to the modeling and completion of forms. Recognizing stages in the drawing's development will serve as the discussion point of various topics including gesture, proportion and likeness, the anatomy of light and shadow, structural and physiological anatomy and value, line and mass. Cost is $400 for members, $450 non-members.
