These courses are offered for adults but are also suitable for youth and require no previous experience.
Experienced artists will find them refreshing and challenging. Novices will find them surprisingly intuitive.
Registration and Payment:
Payment is required as soon as possible before the date of the class; at least a week in advance is preferred.
This is so that people on a waiting list can be notified or, if less than 6 people have registered, the class can be cancelled.
The day of the class is, unfortunately, too late to do either of these so please register early and
drop off a check or call to make an arrangement for cash, credit card or debit payment.
Gift Certificates are available!
If you organize 8 to 10 people in a group, you get in for free!
And any of these classes can be specially scheduled for a group.

Welding & Metal Art for Beginners with Christina Nick Christina Nick, Metal Artist in Residence @ the BAG, is creator of our plasma-cut fence and the many animal sculptures you have seen come and go around the Gallery. Christina has taken a notion to teach 'neophytes' and 'never-evers' to weld using an electric welder, a wire feed welder and the plasma cutter. “The students will be taught by a chick which is less intimidating,” says Christina. In this 2 day workshop, you will learn fundamentals the first day in the morning and start a project using steel rods in the afternoon. The next day you will finish your project and take it home.

Painting 1: Drawing on the Masters: Basic Colour Theory & Mixing. (2 day workshop)
Next offering TBA This is the 5th in my series but, as with all the classes, it isn't necessary to have taken the others in order to benefit from this one. In this class you will choose a section of a laminated art card of a famous painting. You will systematically transfer it to 8"x10" paper using classic drawing methods. We will then do some basic colour theory and a colour exercise using gouache block paints.

Drawing 1: Basic Perceptual Drawing Next offering TBA This workshop is about seeing because drawing is about seeing- and believing what you see!

Drawing 2: The Classic Drawing Exercise, with a twist! There is no object about which we have more misconceptions to overcome than the human head.

Drawing 3: All About Contrast Our visual perception is designed to recognize contrast borders.

Drawing 4: Perspective & Other Tricks of the Trade This is the 4th in my series but it isn't necessary to have taken the others in order to benefit from this one. Perspective needs to be understood in such a way that constructing with vanishing points and construction lines becomes unnecessary because most of the time your vanishing points are not anywhere near your paper or canvas.
