Mars Landing Galleries announces spring classes for artists at all skill levels. \u201cWe are making a targeted effort to bolster the classes and workshop programming at the gallery, and we now have some dedicated workshops, and also weekly and monthly drop-in style classes,\u201d says Denby Dale, artist and marketing representative for the gallery.<\/p>\n

In March, Dale presents Collage & Assemblage: It\u2019s Not Just Cutting and Pasting<\/em>. The workshop meets on consecutive Saturdays, March 11 and 18, from 1:30 to 4 p.m. \u201cIn this workshop, we will discuss a bit of the history of collage\/assemblage in contemporary art, how to approach composition and incorporate visual art principles, use of adhesives and hardware to combine varying materials, and more,\u201d says Dale.<\/p>\n

Also in March, Barbara McGuire will offer Make it Take it\/Introduction to Polymer Clay<\/em> on Saturday, March 25, from 1\u20134 p.m. This hands-on workshop will introduce the basics of working with polymer using pre-made polymer millefiori-themed canes. The class is designed to teach the basics of conditioning, forming and curing the clay. Participants will learn foundational design principles of pattern, rhythm, contrast and movement.<\/p>\n

April classes include Introduction to Cold Wax Medium<\/em>, also with Dale, providing a hands-on exploration of cold wax medium techniques and its numerous applications for art-making practices. The workshop meets on consecutive Saturdays, April 22 and 29, from 1:30\u20134:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vision for Mars Landing Galleries has always included the community\u2014both as a venue to support and highlight artists from our regional landscape, and a place to encourage new ones,\u201d says Dale. \u201cWe see the gallery as a welcoming and open-minded educational resource for the community, and we are excited to expand our class programming and offer classes that may not be readily available in the vicinity. \u201d<\/p>\n
