welcome to the workshopWelcome to the Creative Workshop, Rochester’s art school! In your hands is the 2012 Spring-Summer

catalog of classes for all ages and experience levels, in a wide range of media. The brochure opens with

our classes for children and teens, including half-day classes as well as our full-day Art Day School

program. Adult classes follow with both daytime and evening courses.

As you explore this catalog, imagine the possibilities!

For those who have been hesitant, maybe it’s time to thaw those barriers to creativity and finally take a class

at the Creative Workshop. (Remember when art class was the highlight of your school day?)

For those who are already active, maybe it’s time to test your wings and try out a new medium.

(One-time classes are perfect for that!)

Or, maybe it’s time to tackle that nagging feeling, “What’s so great about this or that painting?” and take a class in art appreciation.

For more than 80 years students of all ages and experience levels have found the Creative Workshop’s classes the perfect place to stretch their

imaginations and gather new art-making skills. There are more than 160 classes offered between April and August, and if you need help finding

just the right course for you or your child, please give us a call at 276-8959, or email us at [email protected].

We also always promise a warm and helpful welcome if you stop by in person. Several times a year, our Open Houses are an especially good time

to see all we have to offer. We hope to see you at the next one, on March 24 from 11 am to 4 pm!

Short course! Your little one will practice following clear step-by-step directions, making the color and shape deci-sions all artists make, and using tools like paint brushes, glue and sponges. Most classes include a visit to the Gallery and all projects are based on kid-friendly themes that change with each new session.

Fee: $80 (members $72)

Why sign your child or teen up for art classes at the Creative Workshop? Because they’ll learn, have fun and grow. Our classes teach the technical skills of drawing, painting, ceramics and jewelry making while encouraging kids to recognize their natural talents and creative strengths. We rarely tell kids what to draw, but rather help them figure out how to draw what they want.

Our teachers continually challenge kids to try new materi-als and ideas while enjoying the freedom of creation. Most

classes go into the Gallery at least once a session, to draw, look and discuss art. They leave inspired, excited and with a greater understanding of the cultures and histories that influence us all.

Classes are listed by age grouping and subject matter. To accommodate children’s busy lives our classes are sched-uled at a variety of times. Call us at 276-8959 and we can help you find the right class for your child.

32902 Eight Tuesdays, 9:30 am–12:30 pm, April 17–June 5 [taught by Christina Laurel]

Best for those with some drawing experience, this class builds naturally on any of our beginning drawing classes.


Drawing Drawing is a core art skill that anyone can learn. Drawing realistically or in an abstract manner is easier and more satisfying after you develop skills in rendering, measuring, and shading to create form. Learning to draw or draw better is also about learning to see, learning a new language, and finding your way around the best tools and techniques used by artists for centuries.

If you’re just starting, we recommend that you begin with one of the short classes listed below or Beginning Drawing.

Students will explore clay’s workability and its wide range of possibilities, textures and finishes. The teacher will guide and aid individual projects and offer demonstrations. Clay and tools are provided.


JewelryLearn to make your own jewelry! Learning to use fine saws for metal and other specialized equipment can take time, but students who take jewelry classes tell us that they were amazed they could learn to set a stone, or make an enam-eled pendant, all while laughing and meeting new friends.

Our instructors are professional jewelers and teachers who understand the creative and practical concerns that go into every piece of hand-made jewelry.

To sample what is possible, try one of our Quick Jewelry series (next page). Often, though, students tell us that one or two classes are not enough! The best classes to start with, if you have little or no experience, are Beginning Jewelry or (A Fast) Beginning (essentially a shortened ver-sion of Beginning Jewelry, with fewer projects.

Short classes in specialized techniques (such as soldering) can help you add techniques to your “toolbox” and allow you to make the magical things you want to make.

We may offer other short classes not listed in this catalog. For the latest, visit mag.rochester.edu/creativeworkshop or call 276.8959.

14GlassSTAINED GLASS32981 Eight Thursdays, 6:30–9:30 pm, April 5– May 31 (no class April 12) [taught by Nancy Topolski]

If you’ve ever lost track of time staring at stained glass windows or marveling at the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany or John LaFarge, we encourage you to try your hand at this traditional technique. In a relaxed and productive studio with an experienced helpful teacher standing next to you, you’ll learn safe, effective techniques for designing and creating stained glass projects (small windows, boxes, suncatchers, lampshades, kaleidoscopes, even jewelry). You’ll soon be cutting glass, using a grinder and soldering your own work. The costs of materials (glass, solder and equipment) will differ for every student, but the instructor can help you work within your budget (think $50 or less). Supply list available at registration.


FibersAll fibers classes are open to teens and adults

KNITTING32982 Nine Tuesdays, 7–9 pm, April 3–June 5 (no class April 10) [taught by Lynne Sherwood]

Take your knitting from craft to creative discipline, gradu-ate from scarves to more challenging projects, and join a warm community of knitters! Beginners will learn the basics, while more experienced knitters can design your own patterns using Fair Isle, lace, entrelac, Aran cables or other techniques.


WEAVING32983 Nine Thursdays, 6:30–9:30 pm, April 5– June 7 (no class April 12) [taught by Mimi Smith]

This exciting fiber art combines color, texture, wonderful yarns and fascinating patterns all in one piece. Weavers have a huge variety of choices of articles to create—from scarves, place mats, runners, and towels to tapestry and wall hangings. And although weaving is an old craft, there is always room for that extra special touch to “spice up” an item. Students in this class will enjoy sharing ideas and solving problems as they learn new concepts. Both new and continuing students are welcome.


the topics have ties to the Gallery’s collection, and each class includes resources you can use for further research. There’s no need to take the series; consider these à la carte.

Fee per individual session: $15 (members $13)

Goya Portraiture [taught by Sue Nurse]32987 One Wednesday, 10:30 am–noon, March 21 OR 32988 One Wednesday, 7:30–9 pm, March 21Sandwiched between his historical and mythical paintings and his prints, Goya’s portraiture could have been the dull-est part of his oeuvre. Not so! Goya was the portraitist to the king and his family, though how he kept the job, given the stark reality of his portraits of them, is a puzzle. (Maybe they thought their looks were pleasant?) His Clothed Maja and Naked Maja are still raising eyebrows, and his true relationship with the model is in question to this day.

Enduring Legacy: Louisine Havemeyer and the Art of Collecting [taught by Lucy Durkin]32989 One Wednesday, 10:30 am–noon, April 18 OR32990 One Wednesday, 7:30–9 pm, April 18

More than 2,000 objects with a Havemeyer accession number are scattered throughout New York’s Metropolitan Museum—from the French Impressionist galleries to the Rembrandt Room; from the Tiffany Gallery to Islamic ceram-ics; and from Japanese paintings and Chinese porcelains to ancient Greek and Roman art. The Havemeyer Collection goes beyond the objects collected; it’s the story of a dynamic and visionary woman who shaped a considerable cultural legacy.

Gainsborough Portraits [taught by Sue Nurse]32991 One Wednesday, 10:30 am–noon, May 16 OR32992 One Wednesday, 7:30–9 pm, May 16

Representing the British School of the 19th century, Gainsborough’s portraits coincide with but are different from French painters Watteau and Claude Lorrain. Conveying beauty of form and dress while imbuing his sit-ters with a “life force,” Gainsborough’s portraits rise above mere decoration.

Reimagining the Universe: Remedios Varo [taught by Lucy Durkin]32993 One Wednesday, 10:30 am–noon, June 6

Imagine you could change anything about the world you want—not just changing people, or politics, or economics, but changing the world itself. Imagine you could redesign the entire fabric of the universe and suspend and reinvent the laws of science. One Spanish-born artist who lived and worked in Mexico—Remedios Varo—did just that. Her paint-ings are endlessly imaginative, magical and seemingly fun, but have deeper and more challenging thoughts that under-lay the easy and pleasant surface impressions.

SEWING 101: Understanding Machines, Patterns and Fit32984 Five Monday nights, 6:30–9:30 pm, April 2–May 7 (no class April 9) [taught by Raul Siro Ferreira] Short course!

32985 Six Tuesday nights, 6:30–9:30 pm, July 10–August 14 [taught by Raul Siro Ferreira]

Learn to sew better and understand fashion more in this basic short class. Your instructor will help you learn on your own sewing machine in our fibers studio. Instruction will focus on key fine dressmaking techniques and basic pattern-making. You’ll learn how to make a custom sloper—a perfect fit pattern for a shirt, skirt or dress that can lend itself to countless other garments of your own design. After you sew your sloper and make sure it fits, you can go from sloper to garment in no time, especially if you proceed to the next class (see below). Supply list available at registration.


SEWING 102: Designing and Sewing from your Sloper32986 Five Mondays, 6:30–9:30 pm, July 9–August 6 [taught by Raul Siro Ferreira]

Short course! Turn your sloper into self-designed and sewn garments. You will begin your own ambitious project (a pair of pants? a blazer? a tailored shirt?) with sewing instruction, troubleshooting and design guidance from your patient, skilled instructor. This class can be taken more than once as you build your skills.
