Fused glass Ornaments with Pat Stein

 Instructor:  Pat Stein and Stephen Hernandez

Date: December 1 with a follow up Dec 2 from 2-4pm

Location: The Art Place Studio Classroom

Fee: Members: $100, Non-members: $115.

Maximum Class Size: 6

 

About the Class: Discover the art of fused glass in this intimate, hands-on workshop for beginners. No previous experience required.
You'll learn:
- Safe practices for handling glass
- Glass cutting techniques
- Fusing schedules and kiln operation basics
Leave with new skills and your own glass creations!  Each attendee will make between 3-5 ornaments to take home.  The second day is for pick up and refiring and/or finishing touches if needed. 

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. 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.

Collage Playshop
12/15/2024

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.

Maximum Class Size: 12

About the Class: The theme of this month’s Art Therapy Workshop will be “Inner Calm During Outer Storms”.

Art Therapy Workshops are an opportunity to explore a particular theme or concept and are designed to encourage creative play, self-care, emotional expression, and connection with self and others. This workshop will consist of an opening check-in, a brief art warm-up exercise, open art-making time (connected to the theme), and a closing circle for sharing our art. No art experience is required. The focus is on the process, exploration, discovery, and play.

Like all art-making, this Art Therapy Workshop may be therapeutic, but it is not a substitute for therapy. Privacy in the Art Place Studio classroom is not guaranteed. We ask that all attendees keep confidentiality: Don’t share other group members’ stories or personal information without express permission. You are welcome to share your experiences and insights using “I-statements,” but refrain from advice-giving or problem-solving for others unless specifically requested.

Supplies: All supplies will be provided, and may include various papers, magazines, craft paints, collage materials, colored pencils, watercolor paints, markers, and oil pastels. Bring your willingness to play, and your desire to connect and share!
No previous art experience is required.

Artist Bio: Kara Ashley-Gilmore believes in the use of our innate creativity for our wellness and healing. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a mixed-media artist at the Art Place Studios, in Hendersonville. As an artist, Kara paints intuitively, often incorporating bright colors with layers of paint, text, and collage, to process life and express themes of hope and encouragement. Art-making has always been an important part of her self-care, and her studio is her personal space to experiment and play. Ultimately, all of her work is about helping people be more creative, use their creativity for personal growth, and incorporate creativity into their daily lives. Her art therapy workshops are tailored to those who appreciate opportunities for creative exploration–with gentle guidance–in a non-judgemental, quiet atmosphere.

Somatic Art and Relationships with Judi Moolten
3/6/2025

Instructor:  Judi Moolten    

Date: March 6, 11-1pm

Location: The Art Place Gallery Classroom

Fee: Members: $50., Non-members: $ 65

Maximum Class Size: 25

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?

Artist Bio:   Judi Moolten is a retired trauma behavioral specialist. Judi spent 20-plus years as a social worker and clinical director for nonprofits before she opened her mental health training facility that she ran until COVID hit. Before COVID, she traveled the world training clinicians in the most advanced somatic psychology processing tools available. Now retired from the Mental health profession as a licensed clinician, she has found a way to disrupt behavioral health and the art world by bringing what was once used only in a clinical setting to treat unhealthy stress to the mainstream. Judi occasionally teaches, coaches, and supervises clinicians and non-mental health professionals in unhealthy stress that leads to trauma. Couples using Somatic Art are her specialty. She also teaches real estate agents how to apply stress-reducing tools to the art of communication between buyers and sellers of property. In addition, she is a top Real Estate Agent in WNC and owns her own Real Estate Firm, Grateful Mindset Properties, where she serves WNC & beyond with a grateful mindset and volunteers for many nonprofits in the area as a charity liaison and more. In addition, she has a weekly radio show combining, art, science, and a tad of real estate. Where she has local guests, local news, and local culture live on air Saturday mornings at 9:00 am, on 107.7 FM.
