Throughout the class, students will gain an understanding of how to properly work with glass powders and slurry, including techniques for creating visual depth and controlling composition within mold-based forms. A kiln schedule will be shared so participants can follow the full transformation process from raw material to finished object.

Linear perspective is the key to drawing with greater accuracy, depth, and a convincing sense of three-dimensional space. This class is ideal for anyone interested in urban sketching or for those who want to build confidence drawing buildings, vehicles, figures, and everyday street scenes.

We’ll begin by learning the fundamentals of linear perspective through clear, practical exercises. Once the basics are established, we’ll take those skills outside—weather permitting—to sketch from life in the surrounding urban environment. Working on location, students will observe and draw directly from the architecture, streets, and activity around them, gaining confidence applying perspective in real-world settings.

All levels are welcome. The course focuses on practical techniques that will help you better understand structure, space, and proportion in your drawings.

Slowing down, observing closely, and responding to the landscape are at the heart of this class, as nature becomes both the subject and the teacher.

We’ll meet each day at The Jetty Bar & Grille, located on the scenic Everett waterfront.

All levels are welcome, from complete beginners to those with some experience. The class focuses on essential techniques you’ll return to again and again while building confidence painting outdoors.

All materials are provided for use during the workshop.

Please bring lunch or snacks, a water bottle, and whatever you need to be comfortable working outside—such as a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and/or a portable seat.
