Bascom Happenings
Written By: Lin Sheffield - The Bascom | Issue: 2018/09 - September
The season is beginning to slow down on The Plateau but we’re still full steam ahead with activity at The Bascom.
We offer workshops, art by appointment, tours, and, of course, exhibits!
Our workshops for the month of September include everything from painting, to wood working, to mixed media, to ceramics and more.
Take a class with New Orleans-based Ann Strub. Ann will instruct on “Bold and Vivid Acrylics” September 5 through 7 or “Get Splashy” with Carol Conti and learn how to apply watercolor on textured surfaces, September 26 through 28. “Bowl Turning Intensive” with John Tagliarini is being offered September 19 through 21, so if woodturning is your thing, this is just for you. In our mixed media areas, “Creating Beautiful Artwork with Alcohol Inks” with Dottie Bruce on September 8 will enlighten you on a relatively new art technique, and “Encaustics” with Sue Fazio, September 12 through 14, will melt away your fear of creating using wax as the
main medium!
In our ceramics department, we offer workshops in hand building, wheel throwing, glazing techniques, and more. Take a workshop with Colette Clark and create your version of “Saints and Sorcerers,” September 12 and 19 or pay “Attention to Detail” with Kyle Carpenter September 17 through 21, honing your throwing and decorating techniques.
All of these areas of art also offer Art by Appointment. Sometimes, we just need a little one-on-one attention! This program works perfectly for beginning artists who need to establish a good foundation or for the advanced artists who need help with a particular technique. Just give us a call to book an appointment.
Speaking of one-on-one attention, we offer guided tours of The Bascom. Schedule your group today and get a more in-depth look at how The Bascom was formed and what we offer.
Don’t miss our cutting-edge exhibits that are always free to the public. On view for the month of September are Off the Wall in The Bunzl Gallery, Familiar Faces in The Joel Gallery and Homage in The Loft Galley.
The Bascom is open year round Monday through Sunday. For more information, please visit our website at thebascom.org, give us a call at (828) 526-4949, or stop in at 323 Franklin Road. We are just across the covered bridge!
