Drawing is for everyone! If you’ve ever said, “Oh, I can’t draw,” or if you love art and wish you could do what artists do, this class is for you. This introductory class will walk you through the basics in a friendly, no-stress manner. Our focus will be on doing, not on perfection. This class is relaxing, fun, and designed to take the fear out of touching pencil to paper. No experience necessary and no apologies for what you can or can’t do. We’ll start wherever you are. This class will meet on Zoom.

Silverpoint Shells

Prerequisite: Yes, You Can Draw; Botanical Drawing; or equivalent experience. You do not need previous experience with silverpoint to take this class.

Learn the mysterious practice of the old masters. Silverpoint is a gorgeous medium that’s been around since the Renaissance. To Leonardo daVinci, it was a convenient and portable sketching tool at a time when there were no pencils. This gorgeous medium requires patience, but the marks you’ll make with sterling silver wire have a special quality that nothing else can replicate. In this class, you will gain practice with silverpoint technique while drawing seashells. This calm, meditative way of working results in surprising drawings that magically become richer and more beautiful over time. Join us, and learn the secret! This class will meet on Zoom.

Location for all classes unless otherwise indicated: Studio 300, Northrup King Building, 1450 Van Buren St. N.E., Minneapolis, MN

Schedules subject to change. Materials not included unless otherwise stated. All are welcome and respected. Students must be vaccinated for COVID-19 and measles. In-studio mask policy varies with local virus case rates. AI devices are not permitted in my classes.

Weather Cancellation Policy

Winter: If the Minneapolis or St. Paul Public Schools are closed due to weather, or if in my judgment driving seems unduly hazardous, my studio classes will be cancelled that day. I will work with students to reschedule for a date and time when all can attend. Some classes may have an online option for bad weather days.
