Explore the magic of clay in this hand-building workshop with local artist Aimee Odum! Create a collection of mini vases while learning the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay. In this workshop, participants will explore basic techniques—such as slab building, coiling, and carving—to shape, build, and texture their own small ceramic forms. We’ll examine how different approaches produce different results, allowing each piece to develop its own character. Once your pieces are built, we’ll finish them with colorful acrylic surface designs and attach magnets so you can arrange them into a curated grouping that can hold various spring wildflowers, found treasures, or simply function as a fun modular display. This workshop is a great chance to experiment, slow down, and enjoy the process of working with clay—no experience needed. FREE and open to the public, with a $20 suggested donation. All materials are provided, and parking is validated at OCA. Register and find our other classes at ogdencontemporaryarts.org/artist-factory-studio

Gouache is one of the most versatile and fun painting mediums that seems to be becoming more and more popular in recent years. Gouache (pronounced gwash) is an opaque water-based medium that allows one to work from dark to light, which makes a lot of sense to oil painters. However, it’s much less messy and can be easily used for preparatory studies, plein air work, travel, and more. Watercolorists appreciate the opaque quality of gouache and many have added this medium to their arsenal. In this course, we will learn how to use gouache by exploring the ins-and-outs of this medium. Topics will include the pros and cons of wet vs dry painting, surface exploration, edges, tiling, color and color mixing, paint consistency, palette options, supplies, and more. We will focus on creating a variety of small paintings as we learn how to paint with gouache. Beginners are welcome to join and will be given some beginning lessons before jumping into more complex paintings. On-going students will be presented with new projects and lessons. This class is taught in English. No class May 7th! PRICE: $99 for 4 Week Class. DIFFICULTY REGISTERING? Please call our main office for assistance! 801.474.3796
