OUR PROGRAMS AND INSTRUCTORS For over 75 years, WAG Studio has built a strong reputation for providing excellence in art instruction for children, teens, and adults. Classes incorporate current exhibitions with special tours, creating a link between the art on view in the galleries and the art created in the classrooms.

All of our instructors have degrees and/or diplomas from universities or art colleges and many have master’s degrees and additional certification in education. While most work in private studios, instructors also bring experience as members of artist-run centres, actors, administrators, art therapists, and designers.

Intermediate Studio students should bring their own selection of supplies to the first class. For special workshops, pottery, and sculpture, supplies are generally included in the class cost. Students must provide their own tools for clay classes.

BEGINNER COURSES All skill levels welcome • No prerequisites Sculpture

LAST CHANCE! Drawing on Mount Olympus Come face to face with the gods and goddesses of Olympus: The GrecoRoman Collections of Berlin. Take in the serenity of the galleries while you learn to draw idealized forms from ancient statuary. Analyze the human figure, determine proportions, and draw a convincing three-dimensional form. Interpretive and experimental approaches to observational drawing will be explored. Whether you are a novice or seasoned artist, you will improve your drawing skills, and deepen your appreciation of Greek and Roman sculpture in an encouraging and focused atmosphere.

Drawing Basics For students with little or no drawing experience, this introduction to the fundamental techniques and concepts of drawing will sharpen observational skills and build confidence. Practice translating what you see into what you draw as you work with a variety of subjects, including still life studies and the human form.

Learn the basics of sculpture by handbuilding with clay: modelling, coil, and slab work. Begin with representational and expressive clay figure work, then progress to individualized projects.

Some clay finishes will be introduced.

A tour of Olympus with a focus on classical sculpture will be available.

Clay and firing costs are included.

Pottery Discover hand building, which includes slab building, slump molded forms, and throwing on the potter’s wheel.

From basic thrown or hand-built forms you will produce mugs, bowls, and platters. You will also learn glazing and decorating techniques to finish your work and develop your own ideas related to functional and non-functional forms.

Mixed Media Combine disparate materials, employ a variety of techniques, and exercise your creativity to develop images and ideas.

Enjoy the artistic process while learning effective methods such as paper craft, painting, drawing, printmaking, and 3D assemblage. You will complete a final project on a theme that interests you.

A series of unique maker events.
