Instructor: Megan Steinman

Date: October 18th & October 25th, 2025

In this class students will be able to make a base for their mushrooms to build on.  For the mushrooms themselves students will take portions of clay to create two pinch pots for every mushroom. Though the shape can vary widely as every mushroom can be different from tall with a wide rounded cap to small with a thin pointed cap. The stems can be smooth or textured, same with the caps! 

 

The only restrictions on the number of mushrooms a student can create is time, and the starting Clay amount of 1.5lbs.  This amount of clay can make multiple larger mushrooms, and students are likely to run out of time before they run out of clay.

 

These pieces will be glazed AFTER a firing, in this case they go from being "greenware" before firing to "bisqueware" firing. October 25th is the Glaze date for this class!

EC-10/25/ to 11/15-2025- Watercolor Painting Beginner Course

$130

with Emalie Snowdall

Calendar Next available session starts Oct 18, 2025 at 3 pm, runs for 4 weeks

Watercolor beginner course

Instructor: Emalie Snowdall

Dates: October 18, 25, November1,15

THIS CLASS DOES NOT REQUIRE DRAWING SKILLS

In this series of classes learn the basics of watercolor so that you are able to make beautiful paintings yourself and truly understand the materials.

Each class will be broken into covering one important aspect of watercolor with the final class being a class dedicated to applying what you've learned as well as a chance to ask any questions and get feedback.

Class 1 will focus on materials, the best brushes, paper, paint, and how to use them. We will go over student grade vs professional grade supplies as well as other fun watercolor tools with which to experiment.

Class 2 will focus on color theory and how it is applied to watercolor. We will create color wheels and color charts so that you may get a better understanding of your watercolor paints and how they mix with one another.

Class 3 will focus on value and layering. Layering is a key part of watercolor, as the more you layer the darker the color will become. Learning this technique will enhance your understanding of the medium and ensure your paintings will be well balanced.

Class 4, apply what you've learned.

We will be doing a small still life study (I will have it sketched out for you). Ask questions and get help from me during this session.

For any questions or concerns, call the Mansfield Art Center at 419-756-1700, or send an email to pia@mansfieldartcenter.org

After many questions during the crafting of these chickens... We feel it is important to say this class is beginner friendly!! It looks very complex, however it only takes two modified pinch pots to make. After that the details such as the eyes, the comble, and waddle are added afterwards as big simple shape from a slab or rolled on the table.
These pieces will be glazed AFTER a firing, in this case they go from being "greenware" before firing to "bisqueware" firing. November 7th is the Glaze date for this class! If this second date does not work for the student please email me at megan@mansfieldartcenter.org  and another date can be worked out.
