MAHOPAC, N.Y.—The Putnam Arts Council has released its schedule of winter art classes and workshops for kids, teens, and adults of all skill levels.
Classes take place in the climate-controlled Belle Levine Art Center at 521 Kennicut Hill Road in Mahopac.
Students can enroll in drawing, painting, anime, ceramics/pottery; life drawing (adults), animation, and more.
Six-week classes are offered for mornings, afternoons, after school, evenings, and weekends. One-day workshops are offered on weekend afternoons and evenings. Classes are taught by working artists with many open to all levels and several geared for intermediate to advanced.
In a press release, Arts Council officials said the regional art center is “open to everyone. ”
“We feature small classes that prioritize process over product and people over pricing,” the press release said.
Classes include Life Drawing for adults (which meets twice a month on Thursdays from 6-8:30 p.m.), Oils and Acrylics with Terry Fokine, and Watercolor with Charlotte Holden. Pottery classes include hand-building clay with Melissa Rossow and wheel-throwing with Zhane Lambert.
Pre-Teen Thursdays features a Painting for Kids for ages 8–10 with Rosalie Marcus along with Kids Creative Clay for ages 7-10 with Melissa Rossow. Both classes are offered from 5:30-7 p.m.
Teen Fridays features Teen Clay or Drawing/Painting/Anime, both offered from 6-8 p.m.
One-day workshops include a Saturday afternoon small group Pottery Pod for families and friends
and a Saturday evening Sit and Sip (for adults), both offered in Bell Levine Art Center's newly renovated pottery studio.
Private lessons in pottery, painting, drawing, and photography are also available.
