welcome to the workshopWhether you are reading this in the August heat, or while reflecting on the vivid colors of

October or the icy white expanses of February, we welcome you to use this brochure as a

springboard into creativity. The Creative Workshop is the art school division of the Memorial

Art Gallery’s education department; we’ve been around for well over 80 years and—because

we are a community of artists—we still innovate, experiment and create!

This brochure—covering classes for all ages in our fall session (September to December) and our

winter session (January to March) — contains classes which have run successfully for years as

well as some very new ideas. We’ve got everything from quick classes in jewelry to courses

where traditional oil painting is taught to beginners.

If we had to share some little piece of truth with everyone walking into the Workshop it would

be that “yes, you can learn to draw, to paint, to sculpt, to make a beautiful piece of jewelry.” We

know that a simple recipe of good instruction, motivation, friendly camaraderie and dedicated time to create can result in amazing works of art and

craft. What’s more, we hear a lot of laughter from our classrooms.

We strongly encourage you to call us if you have questions after looking over the options. Or better yet, stop in when we have an Open House (see

page 7) or anytime really. We’d love to meet you and help you get more creative.

With our best wishes,

Rachael Baldanza Peggy LaHair-Edmunds

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 585-276-8959 and we can help you find the right class for your child.

What impact might your child’s art class have?“I was turned on by the smell of paints and floor wax in the museum. I always drew and they dropped the art department at Sodus; they allowed me to take Friday afternoons off and it was the high point of the week to come in here [MAG], look through the collections and get up to my elbows in paint. I had a won-derful art teacher—Rebecca Cook.”

Pulitzer Prize winning poet John Ashbery (from his lecture at MAG on June 2, 2011)

“My mother took my life inquiries very seriously, putting aside time to confab with me. She would look me straight in the eyes as we tried ardently to figure something out. She respected and supported my ideas. When I announced my desire to become an artist, she drove me to the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery every week so that I could study drawing and painting. She did this consistently from the time I was eight to thirteen.”

Performance artist/dancer Elizabeth Streb (How to Become an Extreme Action Hero, p. 127–28)

32635 Five Saturdays, 1:30–4 pm, January 28–March 3 (no class February 18) [taught by Maria Hoover]

Art schools look carefully and critically for students with portfolios that demonstrate skill, talent, ambition, creativity and persistence—factors that often determine whether students will succeed in school and in their chosen creative careers.

These short classes allow motivated young artists a chance to create ambitious, portfolio-worthy art projects (drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture) inspired by both the Gallery’s permanent collection and major exhi-bitions on view. You’ll learn to evaluate your artwork objectively and create new pieces that can “fill the gaps.” The instructor will offer inspiration, information and motivation as you continue to grow into the artist you are meant to be. Students will be given tips and tech-niques to help them identify their future paths as artists (whether they choose to train professionally or simply continue to create on their own).

The fall class will help prepare students to attend the national Portfolio Day event on Sunday, november 6 at RIT. The winter class can help students respond to any feedback they might have received at this or any other portfolio review. This is a rare Creative Workshop class with (fun) homework!


what is art day school (and when is it coming)?

Art Day School (ADS) is our all-day, week-long art camp for kids ages 7–13. We run ADS most times there are school breaks, including:

• Winter ADS (single session) February 20–24• Spring ADS (single session) April 9–13

We will release detailed information for Winter, Spring and Summer Art Day School by Saturday, December 10; registration starts January 16.

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

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 One Shot Jewelry series (below). Often, though, students tell us that one class is not enough! The best full class to start with is Beginning Jewelry (if you have little or no experience) or Jewelry Project (essentially a shortened version of Beginning Jewelry in which fewer projects are created). If you have some experi-ence, start with Jewelry Workshop or Open Studio.

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.

QUICK JEWELRY SERIESTopics and dates below

Short courses! Each of these very short (one- or two-session) jewelry courses is perfect for an absolute beginner. While making a silver ring, you’ll use fine metals and learn jewelers’ techniques such as soldering fine silver and manipulating wire. As you make an enamel pendant, you’ll use colored glass fused to copper. Simple casting introduces an easy way to make cast metal pieces of your own design. We carefully limit material costs, and all materials can be purchased in the Workshop office directly next to the studio. Class sizes are limited.

Fee for single-session classes: $45 (members $41)Fee for two-session classes: $65 (members $59)

We welcome several new instructors this year. among them Kurt Moyer, Maria Hoover and Suzanne Kolodziej.

We also wish Marilyn Feinberg, Faruk Kaiyum, and Cori O’Connell well in their moves across the country (we asked, but the commutes from Florida, Atlanta and Montana, respectively, were just too great).

It’s not unusual for instructors to take a session or two off. Look for some “dormant” teachers to reappear in the spring, or as occasional substitute teachers.
