SCULPTURE!

Study with gifted figure sculptor Anthony Alemany in his Sculpting the Female Form From Life (SA 15) and Portrait Workshop (SA 16). Anthony is a figurative sculptor in South Berwick, Maine who graduated with a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design and traveled to Italy to study at the Florence Academy of Art for a foundation in traditional sculpture. Anthony is a full-time sculptor, an elected member of the National Sculpture Society, and his work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in both national and international competitions. Anthony says “For tens of thousands of years, society has evolved tremendously and yet biologically we have changed very little. I don’t like feeling confined by modern assumptions or past prejudices; this is why I use nudity as a tool to remove barriers that tether our assumptions to specific times, places, and cultures.”

WHEEL THROWING!

We are getting a new electric kiln! Come take All Levels Wheel Throwing (SA 19B) and Introduction to Ceramics (SA 18) with Rebecca Emerson. Rebecca is an artist and educator with a deep-rooted passion for clay. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Ceramics and Sculpture from the University of New Hampshire in 2015. Rebecca is thrilled to be sharing her passion for ceramics and hopes to inspire others to unlock their own creativity and discover the endless possibilities that lie within this versatile medium.

JEWELRY!

Learn to make your own jewelry with an amazing instructor. Alice Carroll is teaching Jewelry & Metalsmithing (SA 20) and a Saturday morning workshop Filigree Bracelet (SA 21). Alice Carroll received her BFA from Maine College of Art and an MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology. After receiving her MFA, she was selected to be an Artist in Residence at Penland School of Crafts. She produces and sells her work, and uses her classes as inspiration. She considers teaching classes as an art form, and enjoys every moment in the studio with students.

HAND CARVING:

WOOD & STONE

Come take Hand Carving: Wood & Stone (SA 22) with Antoinette Schultze. Antoinette has been carving since 1969. Her sculptures have evolved from realistic to abstraction, with her philosophical focus and medium of expression remaining constant. In 2006 she built a large studio behind her home in Eliot where her classes meet. She strives to create forms that are visually beautiful and comfortable in the landscape, exhibiting strength along with the frailty that she sees in existence. Antoinette flags each sculpture with ethereal colored glass that sparkles with light and throws reflections of color onto the surrounding surfaces of the sculpture. The stone and wood that she carves project a feeling of strength and stability, and the addition of glass (representing our passions and feelings) renders a vulnerable and fragile quality to her art. This quality of opposites, strength and fragility, is a reminder of the beautiful balancing act that is ever present in nature.
