Painting with Knives I, II, III:
Cold wax and oil paint 
With Anthony Ulinski
April 30 & May 1, 2011
9:00am - 4:00pm Saturday & Sunday

Working from direct observation and photographs we will make paintings using oil paints and cold wax medium (a solvent-softened mixture of bees wax and other synthetic waxes.)  This thick paste is applied to a wood panel (or canvas) using a selection of palette knives.  Through demos and one-on-one instruction we will explore the possibilities of layering and incising to capture and transform our subject matter.  This is and introductory class for some and a refresher and continuation for others.  We will discuss composition, color, and working individually will encourage participants to take the next step in their painting.

Tuition: $150

Columbia, NC—Pocosin Arts Folk School will host a woodcarving workshop in the Studio on Saturday, June 20th from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.  Rick Smith, of Columbia, member of the Pocosin Arts Carving Club will be teaching participants basic carving skills.  Rick’s wildlife carvings have often been on display and for sale in the Pocosin Arts Gallery.  Workshop participants will begin by carving a Christmas ornament from a piece of tulip poplar, a native hardwood locally grown and sustainably harvested.  The tuition of $25.00 includes a carving knife (to keep!) and materials needed to complete an ornament.  In addition each person will receive instructions & material to carve another style ornament on their own time.  Acrylic paint will be provided to paint the finished carvings.  Some brushes will be available but students are encouraged to bring their own if they have them.  The class size will be limited to 12 students.  Call 796-2787 or email: HYPERLINK "mailto:hilary@pocosinarts.org" \t "_blank"   hilary@pocosinarts.org to register & reserve a space.
