SUMMARY:Hand-made Gifts: Create Your Own Heirloom Pendant!
DESCRIPTION:Located in the Painting/Drawing Studio at SebArts\nDo you enjoy creating hand-made gifts for your loved ones? Learn how to work with beautiful vitreous (glass) enamel colors fired on fine silver and set in sterling silver. We will texture (using stamps) and dome fine silver discs. Enamel will be applied to the surface by wet packing the enamels (a mixture of water and enamel powder).\nIt takes several firings to build and blend your colors and 24k gold foil can be incorporated. The enamel jewels will be set in sterling settings with the possible addition of gemstones to create a unique pendant or earrings that will become Heirloom Jewels.\nThe enamel kiln is courtesy of a grant by the Enamellist Society.\nAbout the Instructor:\nAnita Selinger has an art education degree from New York University and a jewelry design degree from Fashion Institute of Technology. For 45 years she has supported herself using modelmaking\, enameling\, and fabrication skills to create one-of-a-kind custom orders and limited-edition jewelry. Teaching for 40 years has been a great pleasure for her as she treasures the enthusiasm of her students as they create. Her workshops include wax modeling and enameling taught in her studio in Santa Rosa\, the Crafts Students League in NYC\, Chimera Arts in Sebastopol\, and the Mendocino Art Center.

SUMMARY:Sing\, Paint\, Love
DESCRIPTION:Surrender to the flow of sound through your bodies instrument\, quiet the mind and find your natural state of bliss. Gather with community to sing ourselves alive and send peace within and without. An evening of Indian Note singing practice on presence\, Devotional Chants and sacred english songs with Kiranjot Kaur and Kim Atkinson. Watch Rachel Balunsat as she creates live paintings in the resonant field of the group singing experience. Ceremonial Tea will be served and shared. \nKiranjot Kaur is a Vocalist\, founding member of CopperWimmin\, Kundalini Yoga teacher\, Indian Classical music teacher and a devotee of the Divine Mother. Copper Wimmin were featured on Democracy Now and their song Bleeding Rivers was featured on the Showtime Television series The L Word. In 2006 Kiranjot refocused her career around Indian classical music and spent five years living and studying under the guidance of her beloved teacher Dr. Ustad Narindar Singh in Amritsar\, India. No longer interested in performance where the audience is separate from the performer\, Kiranjot brings together her early experiences of community singing with Sweet Honey in the Rock and Bobby McFerrin with her love of Indian Classical music and the Kirtan tradition. From her travels through India to Chile and back she discovered that her favorite thing in this world is using her voice to inspire everyone to use their voices for quieting the mind\, surrendering to presence and revolutionary self-love. \nKiranjot invites everyone to be transformed by the healing power of their own voice as well as the practice of singing together as ONE. \nKim Atkinson:\nAs a professional percussionist\, Kim has worked with Master musicians and Dancers from the US\, Africa\, the Caribbean and Brazil since 1976. He has performed at such prestigious venues as the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival\, Brazilian Grand Carnaval Balls\, Stern Grove Summer Music Festival and Harrah’s Club in Reno\, Nevada. In 2004\, Kim performed and facilitated with Micky Hart’s “Planet Drum” holding the groove for over 4000 drummers. This is now the Guinness World Record for the most people playing the same song.\nCurrently\, Kim teaches young children the wonders of Body Rhythm\, teaches high school students World Percussion music\, accompanies poets and kirtan singers\, leads his own Brazilian style parade group\, does freelance percussion work\, teaches West African Music\, takes people on vision quests to Havasupai AZ\, and is learning to play new instruments\, including acoustic guitar and the most challenging drum in the world : East Indian Tabla. \nRachel Balunsat is a Visionary Abstract artist. She studied Las Bellas Arts at La Universidad de Granada and UCSC. But she fell uninspired as the world got more chaotic. Eventually she became a student of Tibetan Buddhism and after several long retreats\, Rachel finally felt a calling to paint Buddhas and Goddesses from her heart and was re-inspired. She was blessed with the name Dolma\, Tibetan name for Green Tara\, by her Lama. Soon after\, Studying with Visionary painter Amanda Sage sent her into a cathartic soul portrait which unleashed yet another direction following inner guidance. Dolma’s paintings have now become abstract renderings of her inner world expressing itself through color and movement\, spontaneity and playfulness.

SUMMARY:Oil and Cold Wax Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Cold wax medium has become very popular because of it’s ability to extend and add body to oil paint\, it’s ability to speed up drying time\, increase transparency and workability. It also doesn’t require any special set up or ventilation\, and allows you to build up very exciting textural effects and layers.\nThis course is for beginners through intermediate students (though advanced students are welcome too). I am used to running multi-level workshops that serve everyone’s needs and goals.\nSpecifically this workshop will cover:\nCWM/Oil how to’s: proportions\, solvents\, mediums\, surfaces to use\, Tools and how to use them effectively: Brayers\, silicone tools\, brushes\, palette knives\nTechniques covered: Foundational layers for optimal results\, Techniques and decision making through the rest of your layers: Texture imprints\, Using RF pigment sticks\, Dry pigment and how to use it safely\, Adding collage\, Dry mark making and mark making in general\, Glazing and veils of color\, Composition guidelines to help you when you get stuck\, Color theory and color mixing to take some of the guess work out of what to choose next\nWhat you’ll come away with:\nConfidence in how to best work with the medium\, An understanding of the process of working in CWM/Oil from start to finish\, A stronger understanding of composition and color\, An ability to avoid common pitfalls like muddy color\, overly opaque surfaces\, How to reference a photo and how to work with no source image\nAndrea’s Workshop Philosophy\nEven though working intuitively is a blast\, it comes with it’s challenges. My aim is to help you keep your intuition alive and well\, while also giving you the tools and technique to be able to step back from what you’re creating and make informed decisions.\nBeyond the pure technical aspects of CWM/oil\, having a few composition tools up your sleeve will give you the ability to answer the questions I hear so often from students: Where do I go from here? Something is off with this painting\, but what is it? Is this painting finished? What color should I choose for the next layer?\nThink how great it will feel to have so much confidence in your own process that you can stand back at any moment and know what your painting needs and why.\nI help you see when it’s time to PLAY and when and how to stand back to move forward. The combination of intuition\, play and\, technical understanding and analysis is what helps you build up consistent skill.\nAbout the Instructor: Andrea Wedell has been painting and exhibiting her work for thirty years in the US and Europe. Her training is in fine art\, teaching and coaching. Andrea weaves both her deep knowledge of painting\, her expertise in adult learning and coaching to nurture the artists she works for\, helping them build technique\, confidence and their singular voice. She was born into a family of artists\, has always had a deep respect for the creative process and self-expression.\nAndrea’s Youtube Channel for free content on oil and cold wax and composition.\nAndrea’s comprehensive online course on Mastering Abstract Composition

SUMMARY:Seasonal Natural Dye Workshop w/ Sue Ellen McCann
DESCRIPTION:Dye plants have been used for thousands of years in arts and crafts and are just as relevant today as in the past. Whether your creative process includes weaving\, embroidery\, knitting\, hooking\, stitching\, mending\, sewing or any of the other creative ways to explore fiber\, this class is for you. Natural colors can be vivid to subtle and can be manipulated for color value\, hue and saturation. Using natural dyes can also reduce our impact on the environment and teach us more about our landscape\, botany\, chemistry and native plants.\nSeasonal Natural Dye Workshop – Fall 2023 is the first in a series of natural dye workshops to be offered over the span of a year to aid in the gathering and harvesting of natural dye plants as they become available in our surrounding landscape. The use of native plants in the workshop will be augmented by “garden variety” plants that can be easily grown in your garden.\nIn this Fall workshop\, we will be working with a silk/wool sports weight wool and wool rovings and will create dyes from walnuts\, curly dock\, hollyhocks\, elderberry\, cosmos\, white sage and dyers chamomile. You will learn about growing and/or gathering each of these plants\, how to prepare the wool to be dyed with three different mordants\, how to create the dye baths and dye the wool\, how to modify our colors for value\, hue and saturation and how to record your process and findings.\nAbout the Instructor: Sue Ellen McCann has 15 years of experience making and using natural dyes in her artwork. She currently uses her threads to create small needlepoint tapestries. She has an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and studied fiber arts and natural dyes at the Maiwa School of Textiles in Vancouver. Her art practice includes fine and fiber arts and she has an interest in botany and permaculture. Recently\, she acted as the interim executive director for SebArts and is a painter and printmaker.

Ken believes that students learn the most in an atmosphere of relaxed positive reinforcement\, and is excited to share his passion and knowledge for acting with local teens.
