Framing Watercolor without Glass
Framing Watercolor without Glass with Gerilyn Gaskill
Tuesday March 10, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Framing watercolor paintings without glass simplifies the framing process by eliminating unnecessary steps and costs. Students will prepare paper in advance for Plein Air painting or gallery exhibitions, so they can frame their work without glass, which removes the need for matting and backing paper, ultimately reducing the overall weight. This method is increasingly popular among artists as it minimizes glare and protects the artwork from moisture. Additionally, framing without glass allows viewers to appreciate the colors and details of the artwork more intimately, enhancing their overall experience.
Materials: Students need to bring one or two finished watercolor paintings ready for framing. Other framing materials provided by instructor.
Location: Class will be offered in person, at MAG ArtSpace, 9 Park Street, Milton DE.
Cost: $65 for MAG Members; $75 for nonmembers.

Kintsugi
Kintsugi with Diane Kessler
Saturday May 16, 10:00 AM - 12:00 noon
The practice of Kintsugi—repairing broken vessels by sealing the cracks, then painting them gold—is a remarkable art. The Japanese believe the golden cracks make the pieces even more precious and valuable. It’s beautiful to think of this practice as a metaphor for your life, to see the broken, complex, or painful parts of you as radiating light, gold, and beauty. Kintsugi teaches you that your broken places make you stronger and better than ever before. You can pick up the pieces, put them back together, and learn to embrace the cracks. Each student will break a bowl, glue it back together in the Kintsugi way, and paint the cracks gold. I will provide all supplies, and no prior experience is needed.
Materials: All materials included in the cost of the class.
Location: Class will be offered in person, at MAG ArtSpace, 9 Park Street, Milton DE.
