Hand-Building Ceramics with Bart Godett

In this workshop we will use basic hand-building ceramics techniques to build confidence in exploring clay and its properties. Participants will have the opportunity to make one or two (depending on complexity) fairly small pots, for example a mug or a bean pot or both. You will hand-build your creation and it will be glazed for you, creating a finished ceramic piece of your own design.

All materials and equipment needed will be provided, however if you have your own clay tools you are more than welcome to bring them. This class will focus on learning about clay properties, texture, and pot creation. Finished glazed pots will be available to collect from C5 Studios 2 weeks after the class, allowing time for the work to be fired and glazed.

The cost of this workshop is inclusive of a materials fee of $10 per participant to cover the cost of the specialist materials required.

This workshop is for ages 12+.

This class is limited to 8 places. 

About the Instructor:
Bart is a ceramics artist and educator that lives in Big Pine. Bart is originally from Ridgecrest and has lived in the Owens Valley for 35 years. He has a studio at his house where he has worked on pottery from very large to quite small pots. His latests interest involve heavily textured clay typically in non- round forms experimenting in shape and functionality. He has enjoyed sharing his "odd" pottery style in workshops up and down the valley. I was drawn to ceramics at 19 my first semester in college. As he has moved from place to place, he has been able to enjoy expanding his ceramics education in Lancaster, Bakersfield, Lone Pine, Incline Village. At first it was all about throwing pots on a wheel, from tiny to large. Now he enjoys his creativity while camping in the wilderness. Nature inspires.

Drawing from Observation - A Still Life Study w/ Marijke IJff

There was a time when the only way to visually record what was around you was to draw/ paint/ inscribe it yourself! Capturing the world around us by recording it manually is a dying art. Join this class to reconnect with your surroundings through observational drawing!

As a group, we will walk through multiple different exercises and focus on different perspectives while draing from references right in front of us. While we often draw from photos, here we will be ditching the cameras and capturing the moment with our own eyes.

It is highly encouraged to bring a small object to sit in front of yourself that you either really like the look of or has some sort of meaning to you.

Join us and leave with the ability to capture the world around you with just a piece of paper and a pencil.

How to Draw with Oil Pastels with Marijke

If you have ever wanted to create your own impressionist artwork but have been too intimidated to pick up a paint brush, oil pastels are a great place to start!

In this class, we will cover a few oil pastel techniques and start with a small warm up. Then, everyone will have the opportunity to create your own oil pastel work of art! Everyone is encouraged to bring their own reference image(s), but there will be references available.

Accompany us in experimenting with oil pastels and leave with your very own impressionist piece and some drawing techniques to add to your skill set.

Welcome to Salsa in the Eastern Sierra! We will be offering Salsa classes that are open to all skill levels- beginners embraced, drop-ins are welcome. Bring a partner or come solo and we’ll partner-up! We will start with very basic movements which will be refined and polished with styling cues as we advance.  Each class will have a review of prior skills and a portion of the class will be dedicated to progression and combinations as folks become more comfortable with the movement.

Salsa dancing is FUN, anyone can do it with the right tricks and tools.  Your teacher is there to guide you into a hip-swiveling, smile-bringing… expression of mind, body and soul.

 

About your instructor:

Hallie Vickers moved to Bishop 25 years ago with a love for rock climbing and the mountains.  Several years later she moved to Santa Barbara to pursue a nursing degree… it was in Santa Barbara that she immersed herself in Salsa dancing, ultimately dancing and performing with a local Latin dance company, Salsa Barbara.  Upon returning to Bishop to settle down, she brought that love of Salsa home with her, teaching Salsa classes and fusion dance classes for many years prior to diving into family life and embracing a career as a RN Care Coordinator. She shares her journey with her handsome hubby, Simon and two fabulous boys, Shiloh and Lee. She’d love to hear from you if you have any questions 760-920-2063.
