| Carousel by Mary McInnis |
For anyone who would like to find out more about the medium of soft pastels. McInnis will talk about materials, tools and techniques, and have each student participate in color exercises. Informational handouts will be provided on pastel paper and pastels, which the students will use to explore color mixing and effects, and also to create their own pastel painting.

| Flag Book by Jessica Hoffman |
Create one-of-kind books, using found imagery – such as old magazine and book clippings, and explore low-tech printmaking techniques to create unique patterns and images. This simple structure is a great place to begin exploring book arts and lends itself it well to the incorporation of other 2-d media, such as photography, printmaking, and drawing, and offers a unique way to display images and/or tell a story.

| Fused Glass Pendants by Dolors Rusha |
Students will learn techniques on how to make fused glass pendants. They will also gain knowledge on design and the right ways to layer dichroic glass in order to achieve the most vibrant colors. This is a fun and creative experience for both the instructor and the student. Pendants made in class will be taken to the instructor’s studio for firing, and will be available for pick up at the Arts Council office the following week.
