Adult Course Pastels with Kate “May Flowers”

Spring has sprung! Create tulips in a vase using soft pastels and pencil. This is a fun beginners class to learn to blend colors. Follow along with Kate and learn how to rough draw tulips, color, and add little details to complete the 9”x7” picture. At the end of class you will have a framable-worthy picture to take home, and remind you that winter is finally over!

In this adult class students will learn how to create a rough image of tulips using a reference image to tulips, and shapes. Once the shapes are in place, a demonstration will take place on how to use complementary colors blend together to make shadow, and a nice blend. Each student will understand different blending techniques and use the one they like the most. Once their rough image is completely filled in, details will be added in with pencil to complete the image.

Instructor: Megan Steinman

Date: May 17th & May 24th 2025

Time: 5pm-7pm

Ages: Teen and Adult

In this class you will use simple cookie cutters to create shapes which will serve as a base for your pendants. They can be decorated by using texture plates and stamps as well as built upon with other small bits of clay, just be careful not to make it too heavy. You will have the opportunity to make multiple of these pendants during the class and will give them color using underglazes.

How many can you make? A question with a broad answer, you are limited only by the time and the amount of clay you start with, which will be more clay than you can likely use during the time given. Most beginners will likely fully finish 5-7 pendants during the time given.

The glaze date for this class is May 24th!

The Mansfield Art Center has a 24-hour cancelation policy, if for any reason you must cancel please contact us ASAP.
