Come join us for an immersive, hands on drawing plein air class. In this, students will build on your drawing skills to explore how to start a composition by working with effective scale. Working on site at the Olson House and surrounding grounds, learn how the tools of incorporating scale can bring a broader perspective to your work. Use contrasting lines, shapes, and sizes to create a sense of scale and build dynamic compositions with broader visual interest. The first half of the day will focus on observational drawing, with individualized instruction woven throughout. In the second half, students are welcome to explore other media. Group discussion and optional critique will provide opportunities to reflect on process and deepen understanding. As a starting point to the class, we will look at works featuring the use of scale by Andrew Wyeth of the Olson House, as well as other properties, to draw inspiration and insight. This class is being taught a second time in August, with a different focus on technique and subject matter. Check it out here. Class schedule: Pre-class zoom: Wednesday, June 10th, 3-4 pm. Zoom will be recorded and sent to any registrants not able to join. Workshop day: Thursday, June 11thRain date: Friday, June 12thStudents should bring their own drawing supplies, alternative media you wish to use, easels (if desired), stools, water, snacks, bagged lunch, and bug/tick protection. Please be aware there are no bathroom facilities at the Olson House and plan accordingly there is a lunch stand and a general store nearby that have facilities. Please note: The ability to draw plein air will be weather dependent. Jude Valentine completed her BFA at the Maine College of Art and MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College of Fine Arts.

365: Creative Mending Circle with Jessamy Shay Kilcollins

This class is part of our family-friendly drop-in programs at 365 Gallery and has a limit of 15 participants. We highly recommend pre-registering to save your spot. Please note: if you’re not checked in at least 10 minutes before the class starts, your spot will be released to any waiting drop-in registrants. Work on your creative clothing repair projects in a social and supportive environment facilitated by textile artist Jessamy Shay Kilcollins. During this casual gathering, you’ll have access to hand mending tools and materials, like scissors, needles, thread, embroidery floss, and fabric scraps. Jessamy will be available to offer suggestions and advice if you get stuck or aren’t sure how to get started. Bring a garment or two to work on and connect with others interested in slow stitching and sustainability. Ideal garments for visible mending include knits like sweaters, t-shirts, and wool socks and wovens like jeans, button up shirts, skirts and dresses. Garments made of natural fibers like cotton, wool, and linen are best, but synthetics or blends work too. Activewear and clothing made of performance fabrics are not good candidates for visible mending (think waterproof coats and spandex or lycra leggings). Please note that this is not a class with formal instruction rather, it’s an opportunity to stitch in community. Some experience with hand sewing is helpful. Cost: Pay what you wish — suggested donation: $15 per person or $30 per family. Please list your name(s) of registrant(s) in the comment section at the donation checkout. Please note: pre-registration is now closed, and there are a few remaining drop in seats left. Jessamy Shay Kilcollins is a textile artist, educator, and sustainable fashion designer who uses secondhand materials and handcraft processes to interrogate the roles of consumption and consumerism in modern society. Since 2022, she has taught mending and hand stitching at organizations that include Harvard Art Museums, Patagonia, the Boston and Cambridge Public Libraries, and the Eliot School of Fine and Applied Arts. Jessamy holds a BFA in Fibers and a Certificate in Fashion Design from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. In January 2020, she was one of eight designers from the Northeast selected to participate in a sustainable fashion design competition called Project Upcycle, and her look was awarded second place. She currently releases collections of creatively mended and upcycled garments under the label AMENDED, and offers custom mending and upcycling services to the public. A Maine native, she splits her time between Somerville MA and Midcoast Maine.
