Sanctuary Arts Announces New Art Classes for Young Arts Enthusiasts!

temp This Spring & Summer I am excited to present some classes designed to instruct not just the young at heart, but actual young folks. I have been thinking back to my youth, remembering the wonderful opportunities my folks gave me. They sent me to take lessons at Munson Williams Proctor Institute, a museum school that offered classes for teenagers. There I found my "bliss"- figure sculpture- and my "tribe" - other arts enthusiasts. At age 17 I began my path in life- as a figure sculptor and an arts proselytizer. I've decided to offer the opportunity to that under-served age group, students in middle school and high school, to become acquainted with the visual arts under the tutelage of professional artists. See the YSA class listing for those classes.

New Sculpture Classes

I am pleased to introduce two new Sculpture classes. Letter Carver Jim Henri, will be teaching Incisive Letter Carving in Stone.

Jim has been dropping by to give me pointers in my own slate letter carving endeavors and has such a vast knowledge of that craft, that I asked him to share his expertise with us.

Jeff Briggs, a long time friend and stellar sculptor from Newburyport MA will share the direct plaster techniques he uses to sculpt carousel creatures.
