Students will explore a variety of techniques and concepts in ceramic sculpture, including reductive carving, relief carving, coil building, and slab building. We’ll work with both representational subjects—such as the figure and the natural world—and abstract approaches that encourage personal expression. Throughout the class, students will have the opportunity to experiment with different finishing methods, including oxidation and reduction firing, as well as cold finishing techniques, giving each piece its own unique character. This is a hands-on, creative environment where exploration and individual artistic growth are encouraged.

Tuition includes the cost of class instruction, use of all studio equipment, glazes, and the firing of your in-class creations.

Clay purchases and tools are not included.

As winter fades, there is no better time to step outside and capture the first signs of spring on the canvas. En plein air, a French expression meaning "in the open air," is the practice of painting outdoors to capture nature as it unfolds before you. Each week the class meets at a new location where artist, Wes Sherman, offers guidance, feedback, and insights to support your creative process. You will learn to paint directly from nature, sharpen your observational skills, and explore what it means to be a contemporary landscape painter while fully engaging with your surroundings, your materials, and your own artistic vision.

Students are invited to work in either oil, acrylic or watercolor. Please bring whatever supplies you already have in the medium of your choice.

The first class will take place at Willowwood Arboretum in Chester, NJ. Specific meeting location details will be sent by the instructor via email.
