  Sculpting with Gourds

  taught by Timothy Sauter

  This hands-on class begins with an introduction to the history of gourd art, complete with inspiring examples. From there, the workshop is divided into three sections:

  1. Preparation & Cleaning – Learn how to properly clean and prep gourds for sculpting.

  2. Decoration – Use hand and power tools to cut, drill, and carve gourds into animal- or bird-themed sculptures. Explore a variety of adhesives—hot glue, epoxy, and more—to assemble your creation.

  3. Finishing – Apply paints, inks, and markers to bring your sculpture to life, then seal it with protective coatings ranging from matte to glossy for your desired finish.

  By the end of the class, you’ll have a completely gourd-based sculpture and a strong foundation in techniques you can use for future projects.

  Foundations of Character Development

  taught by Bennett Kimble-Lee

  This class introduces core principles behind creating strong, memorable characters. We’ll explore topics such as shape language, visual readability, and how a character’s design reflects their story and/or setting. Through guided prompts and in-class exercises, you’ll put these ideas into practice and develop 1–2 rough character concepts of your own.

  Whether you’re new to character design or looking to sharpen your fundamentals, this workshop will give you the tools to start designing with purpose and clarity.

  Students are encouraged to bring their own tablets/computers; if they prefer to work digitally.
