These weekly sessions are open studio time, and are very casual. There is no formal instruction, but you may get many ideas and suggestions from the facilitator and other participants. Draw, paint or sculpt from a live model in various poses. The model may be nude or partially nude at times. Participants must be at least 15 years of age and need a guardians signature to attend if under 18. Participants should bring your own materials but we do have tables and easels that can be used. To help cover the cost of a model and operations we ask a $5 donation at the door. This program has been made possible by the generous support of Gully
Transportation.
NO PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
 
Clay Conversations
Meets the first Thursday of every month  7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
in the Studio Level of the Quincy Art Center
This is an open studio discussion about ceramic materials, processes and artistic expression.  Participants are asked to bring something to share with the group.  This could be a ceramic piece, an article/information, a question, a technique or propose an 'assignment'.  The ceramic equipment will be available for those wanting to demonstrate.  This is open potters, handbuilders, clay sculptors and all levels of ability.  Participants must be at least 15 years old and have guardian's signature if under the age of 18.  This is a great way for our local clay people to connect and to further enrich our lives with clay.  A $5 donation is asked at the door to help cover operation costs. NO PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
