PRINTMAKING OPEN STUDIO (FRIDAY) @ Waterfall Arts Fridays, 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm EST   Start a new project or finish something you have started. Don’t let your lack of studio equipment be an obstacle! Waterfall Arts has well-furnished and staffed facilities for artists of all skill levels to drop in and work independently on their own projects. In addition to providing a workspace and tools, the studios at Waterfall Arts provide a forum for sharing ideas, developing techniques, and experimentation, as well as an opportunity for building community. Artists working in all disciplines are welcome and encouraged to get involved. Drop-in rates are $20 for a 3-hour session. Maximum 5 artists during Open Studios. About the Studio Monitor: MF Morison hails from the west coast where she was primarily known as a metalsmith, apprenticing under Stieg Gusterman (Georgetown, CO) and Thomas Schlicting (Amsterdam). Using acid etch in many processes, she continued to explore this medium, resulting in attending S.F. Art Institute, studying printmaking under the tutelage of Michi Itami. While in SF, MF also worked out of U.C. Berkeley Open Studio and Fort Mason Print Department. Upon her arrival to Midcoast Maine, MF shelved printmaking for a time until she became aware of the Waterfall Arts Printmaking Studio. Since then she has been consistently enthralled and engaged with printmaking, primarily working with copper plate intaglio etching with use of embossment and chine colle. Register for our open studios by calling 207-338-2222 or stopping by in-person.

A 3-hour block of time with a studio artist present to give you a chance to start a new clay project or finish something you have started. They are held in our state-of the-art clay studio where we have all the equipment you need to drop in and work independently on your ceramics project, share ideas with other participants, develop techniques, experiment, and help us build a lively community around clay! Community Clay is great for folks who have taken one of our classes and want more time on a project or at the wheel; they are great for folks who learned wheel throwing or hand building in another space but their skills have lapsed and they need a refresher; and they are great for folks who have ceramics experience but lack the equipment to create at home. Join us and feel the power of clay! Ages 5+ are welcome but children under 14 MUST be accompanied by a participating adult.

The teapot is central to cultures as geographically diverse as Britain, Japan, China and the Middle East. In Cannes, France, North African men socialize over tea; in Japan, the teahouse is a place of formal ceremony; in England they have high tea, but the teapot is often the most challenging project for a potter. It combines the skills of making a cylinder (body), a plate (lid), a cylinder (spout), and, most daunting, a handle. In this four-week class, students will learn how to put all of those skills into one vessel that pours comfortably and suggests ease.
