Level: all levels of experience are welcome What to expect: Open studio is a time where artists of all levels can practice the time-honored tradition of making art from a live model. There is no instructor, and attendees can use whatever medium they wish to work with. Easels, drawing boards, sculpture stands, and tables are provided. With the model, the pose will be set by staff or a designated attendee. In the evening session, the model will pose for 20 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and then resume the same pose for another 20 minutes, break again, and so on throughout the three hours. The daytime sessions will begin with about 20 minutes of warm-up, gesture 5 minute poses before settling into one longer pose. Please try to arrive on time, as entering late disrupts the session.
