Master the dramatic, high-contrast medium of charcoal to create lifelike 3D forms. This course covers techniques from foundational to advanced, teaching you to map proportions, build tonal values, and master shading, blending, and texture to render realistic subjects, from still life to portrait.All materials are provided.

Paper mache classes teach you how to transform everyday, inexpensive materials like newspaper, glue, and flour into incredible 3D sculptures, masks, or functional home decor. You will learn to build wire or cardboard armatures, mix custom pastes or paper clay, master layering techniques, and finish projects with gesso and acrylic paints. The instructor will guide you through the entire creative process—from building the form and creating texture to painting and adding the final details. Every step is explained in detail, so you can confidently create your own unique piece from start to finish. Whether you’re new to papier-mâché or looking to refine your artistic skills, this course will help you develop techniques, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the medium. You’re welcome to bring papers, aluminum foil, cardboard, wire, or any additional materials for a costume size of a project.
