This class will explore the basics of oil painting, including colour theory, composition, and a variety of application strategies. All skill levels are welcome! Each class will build upon the previous session, and over the course of six weeks, students will create several small oil paintings using photographs as references. The class will consist of both group instruction and one–on–one attention from the wildly talented Hot Pizza Faculty member Kelly Rose Adams. Students will be sent a list of materials to bring with them at the start of the course. Runs May 6, 13, 20, 27; June 3 and 10. At our 1152 College Street location. *if you have taken our oil painting course already, you may still register this course and the content will be scaffolded to your skill-and-knowledge set.

This is a hands-on course for making garments that fit you while using nearly every scrap of fabric. You will learn the essentials, including machine basics, taking measurements, cutting, seam finishing, and construction, in a supportive, community studio setting. We will complete three practical, style-forward projects: a one-of-a-kind tote, a simple jacket or housecoat, and a final “choose-your-own” garment with lots of guidance and options. (This is a pillowcase-free zone.) Bring your own machine if you have one, and we will help you get it set up and running smoothly, plus cover basic care and maintenance. Taught by artist and sewing phenom Madelaine Bell. Runs May 7, 14, 21, 28; June 4 and 11. At our 1152 College Street location.
