About Face — Ceramic Wall Sculpture
Workshop Schedule:Saturday, March 9, 2013
9 AM - 5 PM
Teaching Artist: Anne
Gregerson
Has it been too long since you played in the mud? We'll
learn about proportions, facial features and basic handbuilding techniques for
clay as we each create a three-dimensional wall sculpture of a face. We'll look
at ancient and contemporary examples of clay faces ranging from simple to more
complex. Underglazes will be available for adding color to completed pieces,
which will be fired and returned to Art Access for pick up two weeks after the
workshop. Bring a sketchbook and think about personal symbols you might like to
include. All skill levels are welcome!

Figure Drawing — From Life, Memory and Imagination
Workshop Schedule:Saturday, March 23
9 AM - 5 PM
Teaching Artist: Brian Kershisnik
Figure drawing—a workshop to explore the aspects of
assimilating the idea of the human figure in artwork. We'll engage in drawing the figure from life
(using an undraped figure model), memory, and imagination. We'll do some talking about the very
different worlds of observation, memory, and imagination, but mostly we will be
drawing all day!

Brian Kershisnik grew up living on various continents across
the globe—often drawing to entertain himself but never imagining people
actually did this for a living. Settling back in Utah after high school he
studied general architecture and ceramics until he was introduced to paint—which
changed everything. Brian now paints at his studio in an old dance hall in
Kanosh, Utah. His work has been exhibited and collected throughout Utah, the
U.S. and across the globe.

Discover the luminous and translucent quality of encaustic
painting—learning the basics of an ancient painting technique that uses hot
beeswax mixed with resin and pigment. Popular for use with collage materials,
image transfers, and photography, encaustic painting involves applying layers
of molten wax to a support surface and fusing each additional layer to the
previous layer with heat. We'll each complete one or more small paintings
during the workshop and will come away knowing how to prepare surfaces, melt paint,
mix colors, create transfers and collages, and more!
Jeff Juhlin, a nationally recognized artist, has been
working with encaustic for over 14 years. His work has been included in
numerous national exhibitions and has been featured in several publications.
Jeff holds a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and has received
fellowships from the Virginia Center for Creative Arts and the Moulin Au Nef
Auvillar, France. He is represented by galleries in Salt Lake City, Scottsdale
and Denver.
