The most asked question I receive is “do you do classes for adults at the Hyde House?”
Our membership is made up of 244 individuals/families, about half of which contain a declared “artist.” This can be on any level, of course, as we have professional artists in our membership as well as amateurs, hobby artists, and students.
In the past, we have held some very successful weekend workshops in the medias of colored pencil, pastels, oil and watercolor painting. Usually these workshops last two days and are led by a member artist who is contacted by us to do this. The teacher determines the tuition charge. They are open to members and non-members alike, although members receive a discount in the tuition cost.
Currently, I do not have any classes scheduled, but a number of adult women are interested in learning to throw (create) pottery on the pottery wheel, and I would be glad to organize a class if I have enough interest. This would include instruction of prepping the clay, wheel instruction, and instruction on using the kiln and various glazing processes.
I would first need to secure the instructor, and we do have several ceramics artists who I think would be willing.
Second, I would need to determine the best time slot, day or night, weekends or weekdays. Does the class desire several days in a row, or the same day several weeks in a row. To properly learn pottery throwing, you must be consistent in practice, so it would be important to choose days that everybody is able to come.
If you are interested in this type of class, or another class, please call our number and leave me a message as to your desires, with your contact information—phone number and email address if you have one.
I will be glad to attempt to make this happen. I had hoped to hold a painting class before Christmas as well, and would be interested in knowing who might be interested in beginning/basic oil painting.
Our number is 417-358-4404, so let me know how we can best serve you in this way.
