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! Oil pastels have all of the convenience of a crayon with the benefits of oils! This art medium offers a tactile experience with a lot of smudging and sculpting of the colors along the way.
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.
This workshop is for ages 9+.

How to Hand Braid Mats with Marijke
Join this class to learn how to upcycle all of those old t-shirts that either don’t fit, have a little stain on them, or suffer from a tiny hole. Fret no further, no need to send it to a landfill.
With Earth Day being in April, this is the third and final class in a series of 3 that is focusing on utilizing upcycled materials and their different applications.
In this class, everyone will learn how to process old t-shirts into t-shirt yarn and create an aesthetic mat. All participants are highly encouraged to bring 3-6 old t-shirts they may be needing to clear from their closet, but there will be some provided as well.
Once everyone understands how to process their shirts, they will learn how to braid and simultaneously weave a mat. This is a project that can be as small or as large as you would like to create it. The end result is a squishy mat that feels wonderful under your feet, or could protect your table from a hot pan, or could even hang on your wall. Crafted from excess material into a charming textile.
Attend this class for an enjoyable evening of upcycling and transforming trash into treasure!
This workshop is for ages 11+.

Adult Summer Art Camp! Make Your Own Felt Flower Bouquet with Marijke
Jealous of all of the kid’s art camps that pop up this time of year? Why are there no summer art camps for adults? We thought the same thing.
Come to this three day immersive summer art camp and leave knowing how to make your very own bouquet of felt flowers!
In this class, multiple techniques including twisting, rolling, layering, and cutting felt will be introduced to make various effects and parts of our flora!
Together we will create some of the base flowers, then everyone will be set loose to design and construct any flower that can be imagined. These can be used as decor, accessories, wonderful gifts and more!
Join us in a three day exploration of organic shapes to create whimsical felt creations. With these skills, you will be able to reimagine a flat piece of fabric and some wire into a dynamic, floral sculpture. Each participant is encouraged to bring a vessel to style your work in, but some will be available to choose from.
All of the supplies will be provided by C5 Studios. Many felt options will be available, however participants may bring any supplies they may have and want to use.

Collage is a technique of producing art where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms or images, creating a new whole.
This is an opportunity to play with images, text and drawing to create artwork that creates connections between disparate images and ideas to express a feeling, tell a story - whatever you want!

Salsa Dance Classes with Hallie
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.
