The Clearing Releases Summer and Fall Workshop Schedule

The cover of The Clearing’s catalog is “Curious Cows” by watercolor instructor Stacey Small Rupp.

The Clearing Folk School introduces this year’s schedule of one and two-day summer and fall Workshop Program classes. Classes begin June 16 and run through Nov. 7.

Multiple disciplines of classes in the arts, fine crafts, natural sciences and humanities are offered. Write with Wisconsin author Jerry Apps or learn how to get your stories in print with Myles Dannhausen, Jr. Dr. Roger Kuhns will bring the geologic history of the Niagara Escarpment alive, naturalist Paul Regnier will teach the basics of birding, and Charlotte Lukes will identify wild mushrooms. Learn to draw, paint with pastels, acrylics, oils or watercolors. Use your iPhone to capture and enhance incredible images, “paint” landscapes with fabric, or build an indoor sustainable food garden. Perhaps the age-old beauty of bonsai miniature tree sculpting peaks your interest? Weaving, wood turning, woodworking and carving classes will create original handcrafted pieces. Paper marbling allows you to play with design, or create your own unique wire jewelry. In all, 31 intriguing classes to choose from. Pre-registration for classes is required.
