Gratton Fellowship Workshops
Thanks to the generosity of Lorene Johnson Gratton, a life-long supporter of our studio class program, the Roswell Museum and Art Center is able to offer a concentrated weekend workshop once per annum for adults. These workshops are designed for adults who normally might not be able to take advantage of such opportunities. Gratton Fellowships are open to 12 members of the community who demonstrate a strong art interest and financial need for scholarship assistance. They are awarded on a competitive basis. For details, contact the Education Department. |

From the richest black to gauzy grey, black ink painting has inspired the East for centuries. Students will learn a variety of traditional brushstrokes made possible with a bamboo brush, and have the option of grinding their own ink. This is a very intuitive and quick way of painting. Unexpected, surprising results are built into the technique, depending on how the artist's focus interacts with brush, ink, and paper. Both time-honored and unorthodox subjects will be introduced. For those who wish, a word, haiku, or other writing can be incorporated into paintings. Students will also take a special look at a classic Eastern way of designing a blank sheet of paper. Weather permitting, students will spend some time painting outdoors. Wear old clothing, and bring gloves, and a coat for the Saturday session. Supplies included in class price. |

This three-day workshop is designed to build upon previously learned skills to explore how different glasses (powders, frits, stringers, confetti, and sheets) react together to create unique jewelry and functional items including candy dishes, pictures, clocks, or magnets.

Each student will design at least three pieces—each using one of the demonstrated techniques. Maximum size is 5” x 5”. (Prior approval from instructor needed for projects that exceed these measurements.) A materials cost of $20 for designated projects will be collected at the first class. Firing fee is included in class price. |
