Drawing individually and in dialogue to develop and hone a compelling visual voice..... 

Portfolio Club is for the small group of students building work and a vision for a college portfolio, which may be for art school or as a supplemental material for any college application ( remembering art can be one way to illuminate who you are when words wont due). Each student will route out their own trajectory, making work that reveals a speculative vulnerable and singular person. Input from the group is important and it will aim to be specific, useful and kind. We'll hold one another accountable to getting the work done and to making sure the work we are creating builds a simbiotic and accessible world. We'll write, narrate and muse about our own work and others to move each student towards a concise and meaningful artist and personal statement.

Tactics, techniques and prompts for using drawing to develop a sculptural work...

In this joint workshop between The Infinite School and TheDrawingStudio we'll work to develop the place of drawing in each student's sculptural process. We'll look at how other sculptors use drawing in their own practice and then we'll move through various techniques, tactics, and prompts to develop how we each might use the 2-D plane to draw out the 3-D object. We'll draw and discuss, back and forth, keeping in mind factors like point of view, the spirit of each practice, fabrication needs, and so on. We'll draw to ideate, iterate and then situate the sculptures that are living in our minds' eyes. Students will use basic drawing mediums like graphite, pen, ink, watercolor, pencils, and charcoal, and work on a few different substrates.

All materials are provided. All levels of experience are welcome. Age 18 and up.

Drawing 3D Drawing, Drawing Waterfalls, Drawing from The Pitt, and Drawing Migraine.....

Drawing with words and slogans, posterized image, motifs, etc in a way that gets your singular voice heard.

We'll talk about what it is we want to say, about what's the best way to express and communicate that on a sign, and get to work to make a sign that adds to the voices being seen at the next protest. No drawing experience required. Materials provided. 

Returning October 2025.....Drawing for the mail

In this two hour workshop we'll chat about some of the ways in which correspondence art has been used, in Fluxus art practices, as protest, as a means of disseminating work away from the usual institutions, lovingly, not lovingly, etc... Then we'll get to work on drawing our own form of it, IRL and perhaps digitally too. Mixed media is provided, as long as it can be sent through mail.

Drawing as Celebration, as Meditation, as Score, as Diagram, as Dimensional.....

This is a three class course of drawing exploration and inquiry for students looking to expand their scope of drawing, and for students looking to enhance their portfolio work. We'll ask what constitutes drawing, what drawing is for, and how it can change the way we imagine ourselves and the world around us. We’ll work on technique and the skills needed to express ourselves clearly, and at the same time we’ll disorient ourselves to what we know drawing to be.

Each class explores a mode of drawing that aims to be useful to artists whose primary meidum is glass.

This class runs a gamut of ways that drawing could be incorporated into one's practice using glass. We'll draw transparent objects using varying approaches; we'll draw in chalk as one does in a hot shop floor; we'll draw out a narrative of our life with glass; and we'll work on installation drawings for how glass objects come into being in exhibition and other spaces. Time will be spent on practicing fast loose but clear ideation on the spot, for when working in a hot or cold shop or in front of a flame. The class leaves room for individual ways in which drawing can clarify or enhance current practices. We'll join together in a drawing studio with glass in our minds and hearts.

Working with chalk drawing on multiple surfaces, like paper, walls, and concrete. We'll study how we can use chalk to make murals, interventions, and street art.
