Introduction To Modeling The Human Figure with Leonid Siveriver

Thursdays, 6-9pm
August 30- October 4

You’ve asked for it, and this session we are pleased to announce that a live model, figurative sculpture class will be returning to Odyssey ClayWorks! Working from a live model each week, students will hone their understanding of basic anatomy, proportions and the mechanics of movement in 3 dimensions. After first creating multiple fast sketches in clay to work out technique, students will then advance to a longer-term sculpture based on a single pose, with more attention to detail. Please join us for this exciting opportunity to work with decorated sculptor, Leonid Siveriver.

Level: All Levels
Tuition: $255 + $75 Lab and live model fee

We have events planned all day long..

Prepare to roll on the ground laughing as these hilarious jokesters make our cheeks hurt, grinning at ourselves over what it takes to be the special brand of nerdiness that we all are as members of this idyllic (naturally & proudly weird) Asheville bubble we all share. This comedy portion will be hosted by Peter Smith-McDowell as he welcomes in Sahil Dhawan, Lily Campbell, Moira Goree & Craig Holcombe.

Please call (828) 505-4003 or email us at [email protected] if you have any questions!

Plates and Mugs: Focusing On Surface and Form With Laurie Caffery Harris

Tuesdays, 6:30-9pm
August 28- October 2

These two popular forms offer endless possibilities of expression to the clay artist. In this intermediate level class, we will use the potter’s wheel to create our forms, then focus on creating a unique surface that reflects your individuality. Through demonstrations and practice on our own test tiles, we will cover surface design including mishima (slip inlay), painting, and sgraffito carving. There will also be a heavy emphasis on handle making, as we seek to create forms that are both beautiful, and easy to use.

Level: Intermediate and Advanced
Tuition: $255 + $35 Lab Fee

Fortune & Glory
BAND BIO
Fortune & Glory joined together to produce something larger than themselves. “We are writing and performing in service to the song”.
When asked what brought them together, band member Eric Barker replied, “All of us had been in ego-driven bands and had experienced the negative effects of self-serving ideals. We wanted a true cooperative that focused on quality song writing and creative freedom for each band member”.
On stage, a Fortune & Glory performance bears out Eric’s sentiment. Harmony rich vocals accompanied by three guitars, bass, drums, and keyboard produce the layered depth of experience that fans have been waiting for. It is unusual to see such fluidity among band members. Lead vocals pass from one singer to another. Band members move from one instrument to another seamlessly. You get the distinct impression that Fortune & Glory is on to something fresh, something truly impactful. This is a band to watch!

Based in Austin, Texas, Hovvdy (pronounced “howdy”) is the writing and recording project of Charlie Martin and Will Taylor. The duo, both primarily drummers, first met in the fall of 2014 and quickly bonded over a love for quiet music. Within a few weeks, they had combined songs and began recording their first EP in bedrooms and family homes across Texas.

By 2016 the two had committed to each others growth in songwriting and recording, resulting in their debut album Taster, originally released on Sports Day Records and reissued in 2017 by Double Double Whammy. Hovvdy has found a unique identity in rhythmic, down-tempo pop songs that are hopeful, yet melancholy; relatable, yet distinguishable.

Hovvdy’s sophomore album, Cranberry, expands on a familiar texture, building off Taster’s minimal complexity and covering new ground. Cranberry will be released on Double Double Whammy on February 9th.
