About the Class: Patricia Stein and Stephen Hernandez will teach students to create glass pendants using spectrum glass in the kiln. Each student will take home several pendants that make wonderful gifts. On the second day students will return to add a bail to complete their creations. Please plan to come and enjoy learning about the creativity of working with fused glass. We will supply all the materials and tools, with full explanations of how to use them. You will learn about the glass we use, how to cut and design. After the glass is fired in the kiln we will teach you how to attach bails to your pendants. No special skills are required to enjoy this class, we will give you all the information that you will need. Students should wear closed toed shoes. We supply gloves, and safety glasses.
Supplies: We will supply all the materials, tools and safety equipment to complete several pendants.
Artist Bio: Patricia Stein has been teaching arts and crafts for over 30 years. Her mediums range from quilting, fashion design, watercolors and for the past 15 years fused glass. She has exhibited some of her glass at the Art Place.
Presently until November 22, a sampling of her glass is on display at he the Hendersonville Library on Washington St.
She enjoys creating new ideas with a variety of glass.
Stephen Hernandez hails from Baton Rouge, LA. His interest in art began at a young age and continued as he dabbled through class work at Louisiana State University (LSU). In 1985, co-founded Glasmosaik Studios, a stained glass studio where I continued studying the craft and worked to develop a signature style.
For the last 10 years, he have been focusing on fused glass art, creating pieces that are both visually interesting and functional. He currently reside nested among the Blue Ridge Mountains just outside Brevard, NC, where the natural beauty all around that inspires his work. My fused glass pieces are characterized by their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, manipulating chemical reactions between different color glass, and use of different surface textures. He attempts to combine technical skills with creative vision to produce pieces that are both visually stunning and structurally sound.
His goal is to create art that is not only striking but also evokes emotion and tells a story. The process of fusing glass is a dance between control and letting go, and the end result is always a beautiful and unique piece that can be appreciated for its aesthetic and technical qualities.
Did you know that 40 minutes of creating art lowers the level of cortisol (the stress hormone) in the body? Art really does heal, and it's fun, too. Join us on the third Sunday of every month to play with collage art and take a short creative break at our Sunday Collage & Play. No experience necessary.
Creating art is just playing with materials. Most of us might already have our supplies ready and organized, but just don't have or take the time to play and create! This free Sunday session offers the time, space, and supplies to encourage playing and creating to anyone who is interested in exploring the paper collage medium.
The instructor will provide an embarrassment of collage supplies (including magazines, catalogs, glue sticks, etc.) to get folks started. Attendees can bring something they're already working on, their own images, magazines, etc. (please also bring your own scissors!) Prompts will be offered, but it's completely up to you what you want to collage! This is a casual gathering to bring community together to create art and everyone is welcome to join! Bring a friend!
This event is free but requires registration. There is a $5.00 usage fee that will be collected. more info...
Come join us as we savor various courses of art! This month, a panel of members will share their passions for creating art. They will talk about their art, their journey to discover their art, and their art process. What do they hope for as they create their art? What do they look for in others' art? Free to members (but we don't serve lunch -- while you're welcome to brown bag). This series meets monthly on the second Monday from 12 - 1 (or so) in the Studio classroom. Please register to ensure adequate space for all. more info...

About the Class: Relationships are one of the most rewarding — as well as the most frustrating aspects of our lives. Whether in intimate or work settings, the quality of our relationships has an enormous impact on the quality of how we live, our self-esteem, and our careers. Yet, we often find the behavior of others baffling — even if we have known them intimately for many years. Often, the things we do not understand in others are the greatest sources of problems and conflicts in our relationships. Clearly, the better we know ourselves and the people in our lives, the more harmonious and satisfying our relationships will be. This is a workshop for Couples. Couples will work together to connect through Somatic Art. We will access areas where the individual may be blocked from their artistic expression and how the couple may find a deeper connection through artistic communication. Using tools from EMDR/Bilateral Stimulation, Enneagram Typing/Character types, and IBSR Somatic mapping each participant will create a deeper connection with themselves and others.
We will remove unhealthy stress and open up the artist's palette to physical expressions of color, mental descriptors, and balancing of the art/science part of our brain, or organized side while opening it up to the fully self-expressed side. We will remove barriers to creativity and discover what artwork best suits you.
We will help participants recognize personal strengths as well as to uncover the blind spots that they bring to their relationships. If you want to improve your relationship with a spouse, child, friend, business associate, or family member, this Workshop will be invaluable.
What skills, experience or pre-requisites are required for this class? Pre-req's teacher will send some materials via email for participants to fill out at least 24 hours before class. Participants will bring, tissue, a journal, favorite pens, pencils, and markers. Participants will bring, tissue, a journal, favorite pens, pencils, and markers.

About the Class: In this playshop, we'll create beautiful ornaments that can be mailed but won't break! Because they're paper. These ornaments are actually pop-up books you can hang on a tree or in a window or gift them (hostess gifts, birthday gifts, etc). Kate will supply all materials for 3 snowflake ornament books. You will leave with the ability to make mini-suns for summer, leaves for autumn, flowers for spring. The only limit is your imagination! Bring your own scissors, please.
Eagerness to play and to learn. Humor is always welcome.
Supplies: Bring your own scissors; I'll provide everything else.
Artist Bio: Kate Stockman relishes creating and teaching and is happiest when she is doing both at the same time! She is a bookbinder as well as an assemblage jewelry artist and collage/paper artist. She and her wood-turner husband Andrew live outside of Saluda in a little cabin in the woods. She is grateful.
