Brandt October 11, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.Use wet felting techniques to create slippers that will keep your feet nice and warm and make an artistic statement as well! We will introduce the wet inlay technique to decorate your slippers, and add locks or flaps to give your creation a three dimensional effect. You will learn a technique for making a matching pair! These boots would be suitable to have leather applied to the sole afterward. Plan to bring: Two or three old towels for soaking up soapy water, a large cellulose sponge. Optional: dishwashing gloves if you do not like having your hands in soapy water; any fibers or yarns of your own that you might want to incorporate in your project. Tuition: $200 Materials Fee: $30

Using Jack’s suggestions, writers will first talk with one another about what subject they have chosen then, they will have time to explore that choice in writing, after which the group will engage in a delightful debriefing about what showed up as they wrote, culminating in a deeply memorable day. Plan to bring: Writing utensils and paper or notebook and memorable tokens from your life that may inspire writing.

To further experiment with mark-making, demonstrations will guide students through the project of designing and building their own brushes and tools using organic materials including beeswax, horsehair, and jute. Plan to bring: drawing board no smaller than 18”x24”, apron and/or old clothes, masking tape, sharpie, watercolor brushes (at least 2 sizes), paper towels or soft cotton rags, small watercolor palette, scissors, jar with wide base for water, bugspray, hat, water bottle.

Ice dyed fabric has a wonderful watercolor effect. The ice can act as a resist but also distributes the MX Fiber Reactive dyes and students can experiment with folding fabric to create patterns or scrunching fabric to create texture. We will discuss the history and impact of Hawaiian Applique and learn to transfer folded paper designs to our dreamy ice dyed fabrics, recreating striking Hawaiian textiles. Students of all levels are welcome, we will walk through the process alignment, basting, and needle turn appliqué (sewing around curves, point and crotches), as well as needle and thread choice. Plan to bring: N95 dust mask, colander (or cooling rack, screen/mesh with binder clips), bucket or container that fits the colander, applique needle and thread Optional: cotton t-shirt, scarf, bandana or tea towels to dye.

Students will be guided through the process of adorning their vessels with embossed organic textures foraged from the Ox-Bow landscape and adding underglazing effects. A final clear glaze will be applied to the vessels after the clay is dry and students will pick their fired vessels up from Ox-Bow at a future date.

Crissman & Virginia Rose Torrence10-day, October 22–November 2, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.This intensive workshop will explore the many histories, methods, and potentials of using wood as fuel to heat and transform clay into ceramic. The experience caters to mid-career artists or those with a background in ceramics. Presentations will survey ceramic science, the history and logic of kiln design, and the incredible range of things artists have created with and around wood fired kilns. Demonstrations will include handbuilding and wheel-throwing techniques as well as methods for material experimentation with found ceramic materials and objects, specifically using clay gathered from a nearby beach on Lake Michigan to augment clays and make glazes. Conversations throughout will aim to assist students in finding creative agency with ceramics. The bulk of the class will consist of parallel working on independent projects and culminate in a nearly two-day long firing of Ox-Bow’s 80 cubic foot catenary-arch, wood kiln; a massive group effort will involve loading the kiln and methodically stoking it with wood for the duration of the firing until our desired temperature is reached throughout. We will once-fire the ceramics we make in the workshop and students are also welcome to bring bisqueware. Once cool, the kiln will be unloaded and cleaned, results will be finished and discussed.

In this course, students will learn to gather hot glass on a blowpipe and manipulate the material using hand tools and optic molds, developing the skills necessary to create their own unique glass artwork. The class will begin with an introduction to the hot glass studio and basic tools with special respect to safe conduct while working in the studio; students will begin with practicing basic skills such as gathering and shaping molten glass followed by blowing bubbles and eventually combining those techniques to create hand blown glass pumpkins.
