In this class, students will design, draw, and paint their own acrylic painting of jellyfish. Students will be shown a variety of real species of jellyfish to choose from, or they can let their imagination create something entirely new.
Students will be taught the basics of acrylic painting, from how to create texture to how to mix and layer paint. The example painting created by the instructor is of two real varieties of Egg-yolk Jellyfish. One of these species is found right here in the Puget Sound! It floats through the water, and looks like someone cracked an egg into the ocean. Each student will bring home a finished 12inx16in canvas painting of their jellyfish.
Appropriate for all skill levels. All materials, tools, and equipment will be provided.

Each student will create a variety of needle felted cactuses to "plant" inside of a ceramic pot. These cactuses are soft and colorful and don't need sun or water!
Needle felting is the process of using specialized barbed needles to sculpt wool fiber. As the needle touches the wool, it grabs onto the fiber and compresses it together, turning it into a solid shape.
Students do not need to have prior experience with felting as this is an entry level project. Come learn how to safely use the needle felting tools! All felting supplies will be provided to students, with take-home tools to continue needle felting on your own.
Appropriate for all skill levels.
All materials (including a decorative 4" clay pot), tools, and equipment will be provided.
Clases takes place at Arbutus Folk School, 610 4th Ave E, Olympia.
For students enrolled with OASIS, this class may qualify as a CBI for your arts learning. Please contact us at info@arbutusfolkschool.org to make arrangements for your student.
