3-DIMENSIONAL CLASSES at TDS
Fall 2008

click here for a printable REGISTRATION FORM

Registration at The Drawing Studio is on a first-come, first served basis. If a class is full, we will maintain a waiting list, and if space opens up, notify people in the order they are listed. We do not take reservations for classes to be offered in the following session. A registration is not complete until a financial transaction has taken place.

Waiting until the last minute to register is not advisable. If a class does not have at least 5 people registered in the 3 or 4 days preceding the first session, we usually cancel the class.

We open registration at 9 AM on the day we estimate the newsletter will be in people's mailboxes. We are making every effort to post the schedule on-line in advance of the beginning of registration for planning purposes.

Our Supply Lists are PDF (Portable Document Format) files. You need Adobe® Reader® to view these files. Most newer systems come with Reader installed, so all you have to do is double click on the Supply List link for the class you want and Reader® will open automatically. If your system doesn't have Reader® installed, it's a free download from Adobe®. Get it by clicking on the logo at right. After you install it, come back to this page and get/print the supply list(s) you want.

All Fall classes meet at 33 South 6th Avenue unless otherwise noted.

American Mythology Vessels
Taught by Gary Benna
Two Thursday evenings, 6:30 – 9:30 PM
Oct. 2 & 9

Participants will produce medium-to-large scale Greek style vessels, which they will decorate with transfer images drawn from an American Myth of their choosing. They will explore using wet slabs of clay with molds to create flowing curved forms, as well as basic building and joining techniques. Beginners through advanced students have mastered this technique and little drawing skill is required.
Fee: $80 (Associates $70), includes clay

Students will learn to recognize depth levels and create forms using leather hard slab construction techniques, as well as methods of image transference and basic modeling.
Fee: $130 (Associates $115), includes clay
