Basement Screen Printing
This is a class for those of you who want to screen print, but don't have access to studio space or a ton of money. We'll be learning basic screen printing techniques that can be done in any basement or other small space, including: stretching screens, coating screens with photo emulsion, "burning" images onto the screen, and of course – screen-printing. We'll also explore and experiment with additional ways to save money and resources while screen printing.

Anti-photography photo class!
Get access to tools and cameras or just find new ways to use the ones you have!
We'll play with film, Holgas, digital cameras and photoshop. We even have some vulgar attempt at darkroom developing in the works.
I can tell you (mostly) how a camera works, but where to point it is up to you (thus, anti-photography.) Rules related to composition and image clarity will be broken in the interest of trying stuff.
Special sessions on full moons.
Some hours are listed here, but I can do by appointment to accomodate your schedule, just call!

Figure Drawing with Live Model
Drawing from a nude model is foundational for artistic training and provides a great chance for anyone interested in art making to learn more about representing the figure. Without the cultural and material layers of clothing the form and volume of the figure are most accessible and dynamic as a nude. The Macalester College Art Alliance has hosted professional models from the Twin Cities area for several years and is now offering weekly open sessions. The evening will start with warm-up sketches then after the halftime break will be spent on two longer (20-30 min) poses. All levels of experience and all nature of media from pen to paint to play-doh are welcome and encouraged! Every Thursday, 7-9 pm.
