SOAPSTONE WORKSHOP

SOAPSTONE WORKSHOP

Thu, Jul 30, 7:00 PM
From Wild Food and Self-Reliance Discovery
4.9

To attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/soapstone-workshop/) Thursday, July 30, noon Soapstone, also known as steatite, is a material that is soft enough to carve with your fingernails. Native peoples carved containers from soapstone, some quite large. They can be made into pipes, amulets, fish weights, anything you can imagine. We have not done this class in over 10 years! But we currently have a supply of soapstone and will have this two hour lunch class. Each person will get a block of soapstone and we will give you some ideas what to make from it. You can cut it into two smaller pieces, or make a bowl, a pipe, or a nameplate for your desk. We will not be using any power tools — only spoons, nails, hacksaws, pump drill, file, etc. Bring any such tools you might have. We also suggest that you bring gloves (such as dish-washing gloves), and a dust mask — the dust is fine and gets all over your hands and clothes and you want to avoid breathing it in. This will be at Hahamongna and you will be sent exact directions when you sign up. A $5 material fee is added to this class for the soapstone… Every one will sign a waiver for this class. If you’re working towards a Certificate, this applies to Bushcraft.

Classical Painting Workshop, All Levels with Cheryl Kline

But their frustration ends at our front door! Whenever an Artist speaks about a "linage" of instruction, it is a proud declaration of where their knowledge came from. Ours is a fusion of Northern European, Classical Italian and California Impressionism. With this background we can hone in on an individual's choice of style once foundations in painting are achieved. The first “initiation” exercise that students in this class must accomplish is our Compass Rose exercise. This skill-based exercise teaches the student so many lessons; first, basic skills like brush strokes, values, color mixing, blending, glazing and much more. We work with a limited palette of colors and then modern pigments for final glazing. At the end of this project the student will be introduced to a new way of “seeing” and develop a visual language which will last a lifetime. The next exercise is a tradition that has been practiced for centuries... copying old master paintings. It’s as if Di Vinci himself were sitting on your shoulder and speaking to you, revealing his secrets from centuries past...and is now your teacher ...and all you have to do is listen. After a series of master paintings, I encourage students to explore many other styles. Palette knife paintings, landscapes, still lifes and to explore images that move them in some way but to continue to use and apply the principles that they have learned in their previous exercises. **What You Will Learn** Renaissance Painting Techniques Produce monochromatic studies while learning about values Alchemy of materials and mediums How to apply color & how to mix paint Glazing Secrets Explore various painting styles Live demonstrations and personalized instruction to help you learn faster **You must bring your own materials.** Get the supply list here ([https://www.klineacademy.com/supply-lists](https://www.klineacademy.com/supply-lists)) **Cheryl Kline**, founder and owner of Kline Academy is a working artist whose works are found in the collections of noted individuals and institutions around the world.
