One and two day classes in creative writing, art appreciation, and all visual art media.
Open Studio is a creative space where artists of all levels can find a space to continue to work, experiment, and develop their skills in a small group setting with support from a teaching artist. Like a co-op work space, bring in a project of your choice! Receive guidance, critique and inspiration in a small group setting at CAM.
Join us for a still life demonstration by teaching artist Jeri Greenberg starting at 9am; separate registration required. Open Studio will be hosted by Jeri after the demo.
Working from real-life observation, students will sculpt a small figure or portrait that captures the beauty of what's right in front of you. Bring a palm-sized reference object that inspires you — a beloved figurine, a fascinating shell, or token — and learn essential techniques to translate what you see into three-dimensional form.
With expert guidance, you'll shape, refine, and add those finishing details that bring personality to your piece. Perfect for artists who love the focused, meditative process of working from life.
