Workshop with Amber Scoon

Amber Scoon is a gifted teacher, able to meet students wherever they are in their process and help them connect more fully with their own artistic voice. This 4 day workshop, Monday August 22 – Thursday August 25 from 10-2, offers supportive space for independent work for 12 artists. Students will work on their own self-directed projects, with input from Amber through individual meetings and a final group critique.

On days One and Two, each student will have one-on-ones with Amber to set direction. On Day Three, Amber will circulate to each student. On Day Four, she will lead a group critique.

Class will be held in a very large studio space at Montserrat College in Beverly. Each artist has an 8’ working wall, work tables and easel.

Please bring 1-3 recent or in-progress artworks to share with Amber on your first day. Bringing images of your work is fine too.

Supplies:

Students are expected to bring their own supplies, based on the work they wish to do

Water-based paints only. No oil paint or turpentine due to people’s allergies.

Price $500.
