First Monday Life Drawing at the Old Stone House!

Bring your tools and join us in drawing a professional life model every first Monday of the month (usually – but we skipped ahead a week because of Labor Day!). Tickets:  $12 in advance here $15 at the door, $10 students with ID

All skill levels welcome. No judgment, just a friendly environment in which to practice, create, and have a great time.

Come out and draw! What are you doing Monday night anyhow???

The 3-hour figure drawing session takes place upstairs in the OSH Great Room, which unfortunately is not ADAA accessible.

The space is comfortable, clean and well lit. Chairs for everyone. Bring your tools (no oil, acrylic or sprays, please).

We will do an hour of gestures and short poses, finishing with a 2 hour-long pose. This is an uninstructed class.

“No More Water” Closing Event

Learn how to mix clay with raffia fibers to give it new and exciting properties. Build sculptures that would be impossible to make with plain clay, as the fiber allows more delicate shapes and forms to be created with ease. OSH exhibiting artist Tahir Carl Karmali will teach about the history of this practice, and lead the group in creating two small to medium sculptures. This workshop uses the offcuts of raffia fibers from Karmali’s installation at OSH as part of our exhibition No More Water, on view through October 13. This workshop will also serve as the closing reception for the exhibition and will include artist talks and light refreshments.

$5 suggested donation for materials

Space is limited, so we highly recommend reserving your spot here!

Presented in conjunction with the Kings County Fiber Festival.
