IDYLLWILD ARTS
The School Mission
The mission of the Idyllwild Arts Foundation
is to promote and advance artistic and cultural
development through education in a beautiful,
natural environment conducive to positive
personal growth.
The Idyllwild Arts Summer Program provides
arts instruction and experiences of the highest
caliber to a diverse student population of all ages
and abilities.
The Idyllwild Arts Academy (Sept.–May)
provides pre-professional training in the arts and
a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum
to a diverse student body of gifted young artists
from all over the world. (See page 31 for information
on the Idyllwild Arts Academy.)
The Summer Program
The summer tradition that began in 1950 to
bring the best artists in their fields to teach under
the pines continues today. Intensive hands-on
workshops in music, dance, theatre, visual arts,
writing, filmmaking and Native Arts are offered to
students from age 5 to 105. Each year more than
1,800 adults and children attend the Idyllwild Arts
Summer Program.
The Summer Program is comprised of:
•Adult Arts Center (This Catalog)

Lectures and demonstrations are scheduled to allow participants in all workshops to attend. We emphasize an open studio with a great deal of crossover
during each week’s workshops. Artist receptions for the faculty exhibit are
planned June 16 and 23.
Hot Clay Exhibition
This workshop is designed for those who seek
to expand their vocabulary of ceramic forms and
techniques, break out of a rut, or inject some new
energy into an uninspired studio practice. We will
explore such techniques as stretching, altering
and darting to create unique pieces based on
traditional pottery forms, and the use of carved
stamps to apply texture.
Inspiration for form and surface can be drawn,
literally, from both natural objects and the human figure, alike. We will investigate drawing as
a continuous component in the ongoing creative
process. Whether you’re a Picasso or a Pollock,
we will use drawing to inspire ideas for form and
surface, from quick-and-dirty sketches to a life
drawing session from a live model.
Daily exercises include demonstrations of throwing and altering techniques, discussion and presentation on sources of inspiration, and informal
critique of work in-progress.
Work from the beginning of the week will have the
opportunity to be glazed and fired to cone 10 in
a gas kiln, while pieces finished later in the week
may be bisque-fired only to encourage further
exploration of form, surface, and inspiration in
the sculptural and/or functional vessel.
Skill Level: Beginners capable of pulling a 7”
cylinder and Intermediate students.
Materials: A complete materials list will be sent
upon registration.
Tuition: $725
Lab fee: $60
Enrollment limited to 10 students.

Six-day session
Social, political, and personal humorous narrative have been the focus and subject of Patti
Warashina’s figurative clay sculpture for the past
50 years. This is a rare opportunity to work with
a pioneering artist, known for her unparalleled
contribution to the world of ceramics.
In this workshop, participants will be encouraged
to explore their own personal experiences and narratives in clay, working with Patti to build figurative
sculpture. She will share her powerful techniques
for clay sculpture, including slab building, pinching, and molds. She will construct a figure, as well
as other abstract forms, demonstrating a variety
of techniques and methods for efficiently building hollow forms. Patti will also demonstrate how
she uses underglazes and glazes to complete her
work. Slideshows and various videos will augment the demonstrations and reveal her artistic
evolution in clay.
Skill Level: Basic clay handbuilding skills, intermediate level recommended.

June 15–21
Tuition: $725

Enrollment limited to 10 students.
This fast-paced class is designed for those who
would like to expand their range of surface treatments beyond the use of glaze alone. We will focus
on brush painted ceramic stains and underglazes
in combinations with glazes to create controlled
pictures and pattern. Once the palate is established
we will turn to the important and often-neglected
aspect of painted ceramics–what do I want/have
to say? Learn to develop your visual language to
express your political, personal or social beliefs.

Two-week session
This intensive course is designed for beginning and
advanced participants who would like to expand
their experience in clay. The philosophy of the studio
is to encourage interaction between fellow students
of all skill levels. Activities such as clay mixing, kiln
loading, firing, kiln unloading and glaze mixing are
highly encouraged. Beginning instruction in the use
of the pottery wheel is stressed and throwing on
the potter’s wheel is emphasized. The studio also
has the facilities for the hand builder, i.e. slabroller,
extruder, and ample work space. Students will
complete artworks in cone 6, high temperature
reduction firings, and low temperature salt (saggar)
and raku. Technical and aesthetic demonstrations
take place each day.

Course # AACR ØØB2
Six-day session
In this workshop we will explore ways to make
lively, exciting pots. We’ll start with glazing bisqued
pieces you bring to fire in the soda kiln. Then we’ll
work with freshly thrown pots, altering form and
surface with emphasis on making lively looking
pots and improving practical skills. Everything
from squaring, ovaling, fluting, faceting, altering
lidded forms, feet and handles to basic throwing
techniques will be on offer. Form and surface
treatments, including slips and glazes that are
particularly responsive to the effects of soda firing,
will be covered. We’ll engage in lively conversations ranging over our interests and artistic passions, technical questions, developing a personal

One-week session
In this course, students will explore the various types
of decals suitable for use with vitreous enamel.
Enamel is the fusing of a layer of glass to metal.
Commercial and custom decals allow the permanent transfer of imagery to an enameled piece in
a short time. Using lead free enamel, students will
learn the application and firing of vitreous enamel
on both steel and copper. In addition to using
commercially available decals, students will learn
how to produce their own custom decals from
photographs, illustrations, or text. Decal application
and firing will be thoroughly covered using both
torch and kiln firing techniques.

Using an articulated bracelet as the pallet, students will create a fluid narrative of creativity. The
bracelet will be made of two to seven panels of
metal with hinged connections and a catch. This
class is an excellent option for students who have a
crisp, tight uniform design style or those who tend
towards a more sculptural or free form loose style.
The project can be adapted to a wide variety of
creative metalworking techniques. The panels can
be symmetrical, asymmetrical, wide, narrow, any
variety of shapes with form and dimension or flat.
Mixed metals may be used as well as gemstones,
texture, piercing and any combination of those
techniques. When made properly the articulated
bracelet will flow on the wrist.
Students will be shown many examples of hinged
articulated bracelets. Variations and themes for
this type of bracelet will be discussed at length.
The class will cover a wide variety of hinged connections using tubing, sheet metal, wire and jump
rings. Clasp and closures will also be demonstrated
and discussed.
In addition to completing a hinged panel bracelet
with a catch, students may be able to make samples
of hinge variations and/or clasp options.

Create rich textures and distinctive patterns to
give your jewelry new vibrancy and life. We will
start by making a texture sample palette on a silver
ring so that you have a wearable reference at your
fingertips. Experiment with many direct methods
of texturizing; upsetting and distorting metal with
hammers and tools, precision cutting and carving,
and freeform play. Apply those techniques to
many different forms to open endless avenues of
exploration in surface depth and pattern.
Spend several more days creating textured settings for stones and other objects. We will cover
the nitty-gritty of faceted stone setting. We will also
explore avenues for setting cabochons, enamels,
and other objects. You may choose to focus on one
of these types or continue to develop and hone
your surface texturing skills.

Finishing well often starts at the beginning–from
the first stages of planning, before the metal is even
cut. Knowing how to approach layout, taking into
account the techniques that will be used to execute
the piece and planning for soldering are all skills that
will be presented in this class. You will learn how
to determine the order of operations appropriate
for building your creation and how to take control
of finishing techniques throughout construction.
Through a series of planned exercises, you will
experience a detailed examination of several basic
jewelry making techniques: sawing, filing, soldering
and finishing the metal–with a focus on craftsmanship. Then you will apply those skills to the more
advanced techniques of forming and forging to
create your own designs. Hand finishing techniques
as well as use of the flex shaft and many of its bits,
burs, buffs and tools will be taught.
You are encouraged to bring work you have
struggled with, have questions about or have
issues finishing.
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
Materials: A complete materials list will be
sent upon registration.
Tuition: $725
Lab fee: $45 (Includes some metals, use of
specialized tools, consumable materials such
as solders, fluxes, sandpaper, etc. and use of
instructors tools.) Students should bring their
own metals and hand tools–but they must be

This intensive 3-day workshop focuses entirely on
the process of ring making. In this series of workshops we will be presenting how to make 3 rings,
3 different ways in 3 days.
The Spinner Ring
Begin your Circus experience with a basic design
that is determined to get you geared up and primed
for the other types of rings you will learn to make.
Although simple in concept, the Spinner Ring has
unlimited design possibilities. You will learn how to
properly size a ring for any given gauge of metal,
how to resize a ring and how to finish your piece.
The Bezel–Set Cabochon Ring
On day two you will be creating a sterling silver
bezel–set ring with a turquoise cabochon. You will
be free to explore either a Southwest style ring or
a more modern version using an open ring shank.
Learning both how to create a soldered bezel and
securely set a stone are two skills that can easily
be applied to an infinite number of ring design
possibilities. A valuable addition to your jewelrymaking arsenal!
The Torch–Fired Enamel Ring with Tube–set CZ
The grand finale! End your circus stint with a ring
of fire! Learn the basics of torch-fired enameling
and create a mini piece of artwork out of copper
and molten glass. Next, combine your enameled
element with a sparkling tube-set cubic zirconia to
create a completely custom and one of a kind ring.
Skill Level: Basic soldering and sawing experience recommended.
Materials: A complete materials list will be
sent upon registration.
Tuition: $490
Lab Fee: $75 (Includes all materials and consumables for 3 rings, one in each style.)

Course # AAAS Ø1A
Two–day session
Students may select to enroll in one or both assemblage sessions.
Recently I was commissioned to create a wand of
protection for a friend. This person had a physical
ailment that traditional medical methods proved
futile in curing. She ended up using a byproduct
of honey, which almost magically cured her condition. As a gesture of thanks to the bees (whom
she saw as her saving force), she decided to take
up beekeeping to honor her insect friends. The
problem was, however, that she was deathly
allergic to these little pollinating pals. So the
wand of protection she asked me to create was
to protect her from bee stings when she went on
her apiarian expeditions. Of course, this creation
is strictly metaphoric and was not intended to
be a giant EpiPen. Rather, it is a psychological
symbol that helped her to overcome her fears–a
symbolic shield that would help her nurture the
bees that nurtured her.
We all have mental monsters to defeat, so it seemed
to me that everyone might need a magical wand
of protection now and again; something to give
us a little psychological boost when we need it
the most. So in this workshop, using objects and
symbols of personal importance, participants
are going to create magical wands to help them
make those troubles disappear. This will be done
incorporating a combination of painting, sculpture
and assemblage.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL–We will also create a case,
stand or shrine for Wand of Protection.

Of all the things in this wide, wild world, what I
have found to be the most inspirational source
material are myths and legends. My first introduction came in movies like Sinbad and Jason and the
Argonauts, and stop animation films filled with
wondrously strange worlds abounding with odd
entities such as multi-armed deities, cyclopean
beasts, and snake-headed gorgons. After that
I was hooked. I read everything I could on the
topic…no matter the culture.
Tuition:$350
Enrollment limited to 20 students.
Many years later, I am still drawn to these concepts.
Artistically, I have found these tales wonderful
springboards for creativity. After all, artistic expression, like many heroic tales, is a journey into
the unknown; the artist’s job is to go to secret
lands and retrieve something magical to share
with the world.
Tuition:$350
Enrollment limited to 20 students.
Your task for this class is to pick a myth or legend…
any myth from any culture (preferably one that
inspires or fascinates you). Next, using found
objects and discarded toys you will create a piece
of art that embodies the tale of your choosing. You
could focus on a character (like Zeus or Shiva) or
tell a story (like Pandora’s box). As for presentation,
I will leave it up to you…could be a free standing
sculpture or could be something that hangs on the
wall. You definitely want to come to this class…
otherwise you’ll be myth-ing out.

Artists’ books are not books about art; they are
art expressed in book form. When the content
and form of a book are considered together and
given equal significance, the book becomes more
than a simple container for information. The goal
of many book artists is to involve the reader actively in the viewing process, not only to see the
words on the page but also to think about how
the words, pictures and physical form of the object
all contribute to their meaning.
From ancient times to the present, people have
created maps to depict real and imagined territories reflecting personal and cultural worldviews.
In this course, we will create books exploring the
universal and the personal. Writing and collage
exercises will help flex your bookmaking muscles
and bring your artistic vision into focus. The course
will examine ancient and modern maps, charts,
and other graphical representations, in addition
to various book structures and forms. This will be
a journey of mapping ideas and the stories, real or
imagined, that you’d like to tell in the book form.
We will investigate the three aspects of a book:
text, structure and image. Students will learn
several Eastern and Western book structures, using
adhesive and non-adhesive bindings, including
stab binding, one-page signature“painted books,”
accordion folds with covers, and an elegant wire
edge binding. We will learn how to make paste
paper and transfer techniques (for creating images
from photos or text). Come to camp and have a
journey within a journey!

Typically collage is about the clever ways we combine items to cover over and transform surfaces;
this time we are going to explore this medium in
a slightly different way. In this class we will collage incorporating items that are transparent in
nature. Combining transparencies, mica, photos,
textured papers, ephemera, and found objects we
will create rich, layered collages, with jewel-like
depth and vibrancy. Using a small wood substrate
as our base, we are going to design multi-tiered
compositions. By learning the secrets of how to
combine the visible with the semi-visible, and
focusing on both the play of light and effects of
depth, you will be able to create mesmerizing
almost holographic effects. You choose whether
the subject is a portrait, landscape or something
else entirely.

MIXED MEDIA/BOOK ARTS
Course # AAMM Ø2
Two-day session
The artist’s ability through the use of powerful
imagery and cultural symbols to take an“ordinary”
image and elevate it to something otherwordly
is rather divine. You may choose an existing
mythological god or goddess as your inspiration,
or perhaps create one of your own to serve as
your muse for our large-scale (4’x2’) mixed-media
project based workshop. Prepare to do some
transformative magic as we take everyday images and change them into iconic mixed media
masterpieces. Bring your assortment of personal
symbols, imagery and that box of ephemera that
you’ve been collecting and we will incorporate
them into your canvas elevating them from the
ordinary to the extraordinary as we explore many
sophisticated techniques for creating our deeply
symbolic multilayered collage. We will use several
methods, mediums and techniques for seamlessly merging otherwise unrelated imagery into
a unified composition that will allow us to create
modern day icons of our own.
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
Materials: A complete materials list will be
sent upon registration.
Tuition:$350
Enrollment limited to 20 students.

Learn ways to preserve and utilize native
plants in this hands-on workshop. On day
one, begin with an ethnobotany talk in
the campus meadow next to ancient Cahuilla
bedrock mortars to learn about local plants and
their many uses. Next, learn how to make items
from the tule & cattail plants: toys, doll, baby
cradle, boat and mat. Learn about the many uses
of tule/cattail for house thatching, boats, toys,
mats, duck decoys, and food. In the evening,
visit local Cahuilla rock art sites to learn the meaning, historical significance and importance of the
preservation of these sites.
Day two will be devoted to traditional and modern
gathering practices of native plants; preparing
and processing with a wide range of plants; and
will include demonstrations on the processing of
native plants into various products such as foot
scrubs/soaks, salves, tinctures, etc. Learn how
native plants are used for medicine and prepare
natural remedies. Each student will take home
herbal teas they make themselves as well as other
native plant herbal products. This workshop is
dedicated to our teacher, Katherine Siva Saubel,
with deep gratitude.

One-day session
In this class we will explore food culture
of the Pacific Northwest, from northwest
Washington to the northern tip of Vancouver Island, looking at food practices of the
Kwakiutl, Makah, and Samish tribes, to name a
few. Students will explore salmon preparation
along with clams, seaweed, and other bounties
of the sea, and will also discover ways to prepare
berries, milled products, and learn about usage
of cedar and different types of lettuce. The Northwest is rich and diverse with many ingredients
that contributed to modern American food culture.
We will explore the uses of these ingredients from
the past and look at ways they have changed over
time. This class includes hands-on cooking with
short presentations, and the content is designed
to enable students to prepare these dishes at
home.
The Indian tribes of California produced
baskets of great diversity and beauty. The
exquisite baskets of the Cahuilla, in particular, are recognized among the highest form
of the basket making art, and in recent years the
Cahuilla have experienced a revival in the tradition.
Each student will learn how to create a basket of
his/her own during the workshop using yucca,
sumac, juncus and deer grass. On a field trip to
the nearby Cahuilla Reservation, students will be
taught identification of plants used in basket making and will learn how to prepare the plants for use.
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
Tuition: $725
Lab fee: $40 (Includes materials, field trip transportation and use of tools in class.)
Enrollment limited to 10 students.
ROSE ANN HAMILTON, Mountain Cahuilla, learned

Haida Basketry
Lisa Telford
June 30–July 4
Course # NAHB Ø1
One-week session
For the Haida of the Pacific Northwest,
basketry was essential for survival years
ago–baskets were used to gather, store
and cook food. The instructor continues creating
basketry to celebrate the beauty of nature. Even
though basketry was functional, the Haida always
included a bit of beauty in each work basket.
In this class, each student will create a women’s
work basket using western red cedar and Alaska
yellow cedar bark. The techniques you will learn
are two and three stand twining, the in-between
stitch and you will use color to incorporate your
bit of beauty. The size of the basket will depend
on experience with basket making and textiles.
Lisa harvests and prepares her own material, using red and yellow cedar bark. Harvesting cedar
bark takes her hundreds of miles from home and
takes many hours of preparation time. Materials
are prepared differently depending on the final
product. The bark is traditionally stored for one
year and then further processing is required before
weaving may start.
Skill Level: Some weaving experience helpful.

Overlay & Tufa Casting
Roy Talahaftewa
June 30–July 4
Course # NAJH Ø1
One-week session
In this workshop, students will learn the
classic Hopi Overlay technique of metalsmithing, as well as Tufa Casting. Tufa is
a soft porous stone used for direct casting oneof-a-kind designs. Students may combine tufa
cast pieces with their overlay designs (multiple
layers of sheet silver with cut-out designs, textured
and oxidized recessed surfaces), or students may
create separate overlay and tufa works. In addition,
the instructor will demonstrate techniques for
making stamping tools.
Beginning students will be introduced to the fundamental materials, processes, and techniques of
silversmithing, and those with experience will be
able to fine-tune their skills while mastering new
techniques. Intermediate and advanced students
may choose to learn the shadow box technique.
Because students will be working closely with the
teacher, the workshop is well-suited for students
of all levels of experience.

Course # NANW Ø1
One or Two-week session
Students will have the opportunity to
learn the art of weaving from Master
Navajo Weaver, Barbara Teller Ornelas,
originally from Two Grey Hills and Newcomb, New
Mexico, and her sister Lynda Teller Pete. While
instructing and demonstrating, Barbara and
Lynda will share their family’s personal weaving
stories and experiences, allowing participants a
chance to view the world of Navajo weaving.
According to Navajo oral tradition two holy people,
Spider Woman and Spider Man, introduced
weaving to the Navajo. Spider Man constructed
the first loom, which was composed of sunshine,
lightning, and rain; and Spider Woman taught the
people how to weave on it. Spider Woman was
discovered by the Holy Twins, the culture heroes
of the Navajo Creation Story, in a small opening
in the earth surrounded by an array of beautiful
weavings. Entering her dwelling, the Holy Twins
descended a ladder made of yarn, whereupon
Spider Woman offered them knowledge of the
world of weaving.
Beginners: Students will learn the traditional
method of Navajo weaving and will begin weaving
on Day 1 with a pre-warped, upright Navajo loom.
The majority of the week will be spent designing
and learning how to weave a 12” x 16” rug. There
will be a lesson on warping a loom later in the
week. Beginning weavers may enroll for the full
two weeks or in the first week only.
Intermediate: Students will learn more advanced
weaving techniques and more intricate patterns,
and the rug may be any size. Students who have
begun a rug in this workshop in previous summers
may bring their rugs to complete, or may begin a
new rug. Intermediate students must bring their
own loom and it must be set up for weaving
before class begins. Alternately, they may order
a pre-warped loom (when they register) to work
on if they prefer. Intermediate students (those
who have taken this course before or have had
previous basic training in Navajo weaving on an
upright loom) may enroll for the full two weeks
or in the second week only.
Materials: Students may wish to bring a seat
cushion and small clamp or desk lamp.
Tuition: $725 per week
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
Materials: A complete materials list will be

One-week session
The Navajo adopted the art of jewelry making
from the Spanish after contact, taking the art to
new heights and establishing a style that is now
considered to be the “traditional” Navajo style.
Today, there are many Navajo jewelers who are
moving beyond that style, designing contemporary pieces of jewelry which reflect a new Native
American reality. Artists are creating colorful collages and patterns with beautiful stones and shells
set in gold and silver. In addition to turquoise and
coral, it is not unusual to find lapis lazuli, purple
lavulite, diamonds, pearls, malakite, jet stone, jade,
melon shell and other stones, shells and gems in
contemporary Native American jewelry.
Working closely with one of the leading contemporary Navajo jewelers, students will learn the
techniques used to create such pieces. They will
design patterns, cut, grind and prepare stones,
and set the stones into basic silver forms (rings,
bracelets, earrings, bolos, etc.) which they have
created. Participants without prior experience in
silversmithing will also be introduced to the basic
concepts of shaping silver.
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
Tuition: $725
Lab fee: $45 (Includes the use of all tools, equipment, and consumables such as solder and
compounds. An additional charge will be made
for all silver and stones used. A small selection
of turquoise and other stones will be available
for purchase, but students are encouraged to
bring their own stones if they have preferences
on colors/stone types.) Students may bring their
own silver, tools, stones, and a work lamp which
must be clearly marked.
Enrollment limited to 10 students.
Course # NANF ØØA

as many other items. Many Chumash stone carvers continue to practice this highly regarded and
recognized cultural skill today.
Each student will learn how to create two soapstone carvings: one pendant and one small
animal effigy of their choice. Various items such
as ceremonial pipes, animal effigies, bowls and
pendants will be displayed and discussed. A brief
overview of stone gathering techniques, among
other aspects of traditional Chumash culture,
will be taught.
Skill Level: Beginner
Materials: A complete materials list will be
sent upon registration.
Tuition: $220
Lab fee: $65 (Includes 2 soapstone pieces, one
file, plus use of instructor’s files in class, dust
mask, various grit sand paper, braided cord for

NATIVE AMERICAN ARTS
Students in this workshop will learn the
traditional Hopi method of creating
polychrome pottery, including coil building, stone burnishing, painting with natural pigments, and firing. Learn how to process and
prepare raw clay for pottery making and to prepare
beeweed plant for black paint. Students will also
have the opportunity to experiment with two
types of clay, the Hopi-Tewa gray clay, as well as
the yellow ochre clay that Nampeyo often used;
see demonstrations of slipping techniques using
white kaolin and yellow ochre; and learn two firing
techniques (for both gray and yellow ochre pots).
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
Experience all techniques and steps used in the
process including paintbrush making, grinding
and preparing paint stones to decorate the pots,
making nets (used for holding and hanging the
round-based ollas), and more. See a demonstration
of fire-starting by friction, and learn how to make
palm frond rings (pottery stands). Students will
have the opportunity to experience two types of
firings during the session and will learn to make

The natural clays and paints are provided by the
artist, from the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. There
is enough clay for each student to make 2 to 3
small pieces of pottery – all that can be successfully completed in the week-long workshop. This
is not a production pottery course, but a careful
examination of the delicate process of Hopi pottery
making and the cultural foundation from which
the art is inspired.

MARK TAHBO is known as one of the finest Hopi
potters today. Born and raised on the Hopi Reservation, First Mesa, Mark learned the art from his
great grandmother Grace Chapella, Nampeyo’s
neighbor and a principle pottery “revival” artist
decades ago. His distinctive pots have been exhibited worldwide in museums and galleries. Among
the many top awards he has earned at the Santa
Fe Indian Market is the prestigious Helen Naha
Memorial Award for Excellence in Hopi Pottery
which he earned for 3 consecutive years. Mark
has been profiled in various publications including Native Peoples Magazine, and is included in
numerous books and articles on Pueblo pottery.
Because the instructor’s method requires extensive air-drying time, each student will have the
privilege of using a dried vessel prepared by the
instructor to learn the carving, polishing and firing
techniques. In addition, each student will start
pieces from the beginning of the process–mixing
clay (with your feet!) and building pots–and will
be able to complete those pieces at home after
the 30-day drying period. The workshop will also
include individual firings, and discussions about
Santa Clara Pueblo, the pottery making tradition,
and the cultural foundation from which the art is
inspired. The raw clay and paints are provided by
the artist, and are gathered from his home.
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
Materials: A complete materials list will be
sent upon registration.
Tuition: $725
Lab Fee: Beginners: $95 (includes clay, paints,
stones and all materials, as well as one 5.5” wide

to complete.)
Returning students: $125 (Includes all of the
above, but a larger dried vessel, 5.5” x 7 “ tall.)
Enrollment limited to 12 students.

Build your artistic vocabulary as you work sequentially to complete one finished figure painting.
In a methodical, step-by-step process, learn the
methods of oil painting from the initial value study
to a full color figure painting. Over the course of
the workshop, you will dive into painting-related
issues while exploring the artist’s most fascinating
subject matter: the human figure. Progressing
from value studies, to limited palette, and finally
full color, you will develop a completed painting
by the workshop’s end. Lectures and individual
instruction aid your artistic progress. Much of the
personal growth of the artist comes from having
the right tools for self-correction and problem solving. With that in mind throughout the class, you
participate in discussions on materials, methods
and techniques to equip you with invaluable tools
for your future artistic growth.

One-week session
Dating back more the 5000 years, encaustic
painting has a rich and varied history. The Ancient
Greeks were believed to have used wax to seal their
boats. Eventually pigments where added to the
wax creating a decorative element. Some of the
best-known early encaustic works are the Fayum
portraits created by Roman–Egyptians during the
first three centuries AD. Over 1000 portraits have
been discovered. These portraits where placed
over the mummy of the deceased. In more modern
times Jasper Johns could be credited for reviving encaustic painting and transforming it into
a unique painting style that has rapidly gained
popularity in the last few decades.
Whether you are an experienced encaustic painter
or beginner, this workshop is designed to help you
reach new levels of creativity with this versatile
medium. The workshop will cover safe studio
practices, creation of encaustic medium, how to
apply encaustic to different grounds, how to create
textured or smooth surfaces, hot tools and their
use, mixed media, photo transfer, incorporation
of three dimensional elements and more.
An emphasis will be placed on working with each
artist individually and collectively to find ways to
explore your vision and how you want to make this
unique painting style your own. The possibilities
of encaustic painting as a creative expression are
endless and exciting.
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.

A strong understanding of natural color and lighting is an important asset to any environment artist
or fine art painter. In this workshop, learn all about
the important fundamentals of composition, color
relationships, lighting, atmospheric perspective,
and shape design through the use of gouache
(water based medium paint like acrylic and watercolor). This is a great workshop for those who
would like to learn how to capture a rich sense
of natural lighting in their artwork. Pastel, acrylic
and oil painters also welcome.

This one-week course, taught by renowned Los Angeles painter Lisa Adams, is designed to facilitate
non-professional and professional painters alike
in discovering or honing their personal vision and
in stimulating imaginary thinking.
With an equal emphasis on formal skills and
experimentation, exercises focus on trusting the
intuition, learning to see inward and the practice
of seeing oneself reflected in the world at large.
The task becomes how do we see our authentic
selves in the external environment and how do
we make this vision manifest in painting? At core
we will be asking more questions than delivering
concrete answers, all the while working on creating
paintings that are well-crafted and clearly rooted
in individual expression.
Using both representational and abstract elements is crucial in bringing to life a balanced view
of the visual world and of one’s expression. Embracing and combining dichotomies, as a conceptual
foundation, will be stressed as well as risk-taking,
that is, working for the exploratory experience.

In this exciting course, the student will explore color
concepts and expression in a guided process of
collage and painted studies. Course structure will
be contextualized within the history of painting,
and each student will gain an understanding of
how color use can enhance and strengthen their
own creative work.
The group will begin with painted studies and collages that address essential color contrasts, with an
emphasis on light, saturation, and proportion of color
relationships. These initial composition studies will
become the springboard for larger paintings tailored
to individual needs. Each student will become more
sensitive to how color creates light, space, focal point
and meaning within their own work, gaining more
power with color expression. Gouache and collage
materials will be used in combination on paper.
Skill Level: Some painting experience through
professional painters.
Materials: A complete materials list will be

One-week session
This class will cover a wide range of image making using the “reductive transparent stacked”
monotype technique. Mark making, inking, image
preparation, and various methods in wiping of the
surface plate will be discussed.
Monotype is a unique print made by means that
permits only one impression. An image is made
using inks on a non-absorbent surface such as
Plexiglas. The image is then transferred to paper
with the use of an etching press. The monotype
is a unique one-of-a-kind image and cannot be
duplicated.
There are many ways to make monotypes. In this
workshop, students will learn the multi-plate
transparent layering technique. Three or more inks
will be made transparent, printing will be done
as each color is applied to the entire plate and
wiped off by the artist. The final result is achieved

June 30–July 4
Course # AASG Ø1
June 23–27
Course # AASC ØØ
One-week session
In this course, students will be instructed in the
process of sand casting in metal. Sand casting is
a 10,000 year old process and art that involves
creating a cavity in damp sand and then filling that
cavity with molten metal. After cooling, the sand
is broken away to reveal the casting. Students will
be casting pieces daily, and will learn all steps in
the process, including creating the molds, casting
hot metal, metal finishing techniques, the building
of a small-scale foundry furnace, as well as safety
measures and an introduction to a range of molding materials. Each student will produce several
small works out of aluminum or bronze, up to 5lbs
each. There will also be a demonstration of cold
casting techniques. The program is designed for
anyone who aspires to work with molten metal,
either in a home studio or a foundry.
One-week session
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
This workshop is an introduction to the fundamentals of working with hot glass. This includes
becoming familiar with the equipment and tools
used to create glass art. Students will have the
opportunity to create their own work, beginning
with solid pieces (flowers, mushrooms, and paperweights) and eventually blowing simple vessels.
Using colored glass, students will become familiar
with the process of gathering and shaping hot
glass into a variety of forms. Although the goal is
to blow glass, advancement will depend on how
quickly a student becomes adept at “working”
the glass. The small class size allows for maximum
time working with glass and lots of hands-on/
close instruction. At times, the temperature in a
hot shop environment can easily exceed 120° F.
Drink plenty of water!
Materials: A complete materials list will be
sent upon registration.
Skill Level: No prior glass blowing experience is
necessary.
Tuition: $725
Lab Fee: $45 (Includes metal–5 lbs each of
bronze and aluminum, sand, clay, plaster and
the use of equipment, kilns in class. Additional
metal will be available for purchase by the
pound.)
Enrollment limited to 8 students.

The Art of Writing Fiction
Samantha Dunn
July 7–11
One-week session
“Never let the truth get in
the way of a good story,
”Mark Twain supposedly
said. This workshop will
explore the art and craft
of fiction, using a multitude of exercises to tap
and enhance your own
deep sources of creativity. If you have a vivid
imagination, or if you are a storyteller who likes to
embellish, or you want to look at your tales with a
new perspective, the class will provide you with
the tools to paint with words. Whether you are a
beginner or are a prolific writer, you will walk away
from this workshop with a better understanding
of the structural elements that underpin all great
stories. You will also be armed with new techniques
for creating characters who come to life on the
page, for creating vivid worlds with your words,
and how to keep generating story ideas. All levels
of writer will be able to apply the lessons. While
writing fiction is often about finding the truth of
the story, come prepared to make stuff up. And to
write! Class time will be about practicing what we
learn—bring plenty of pens and blank notebooks.
By the end of the week, everyone will have at least
one well-honed piece of fiction presentable for
public consumption.
This workshop will meet from 9–noon each morning and again from 1–2pm in the afternoon for
writing sessions.
Skill Level: All levels are welcome.
Tuition: $725
Enrollment limited to 12 students.

Book track will work with Ellen Bass on a small,
representative set of poems submitted prior to
Poetry Week to develop ideas about manuscripts
such as a chapbook or a full collection. See separate
course description.
The tracks run concurrently from 9–noon, and all
participants join together for craft talks by faculty and special guests from 2-4 p.m. and evening

TRACK II
Towards A Book
Ellen Bass
July 7–11
Course # AAWP Ø2B
One-week session
This workshop is for poets who are on their way
to compiling a book or chapbook and want to
make each poem as absolutely strong as it can be.
Each day we will look at one aspect of the craft to
support the revision process. Possible topics will
be: discovery, description, image and metaphor,
sentiment and sentimentality, and de-cluttering.
We’ll read stellar poems from contemporary poets
to illustrate these concepts and inspire us. We’ll
also look at examples of revision in model poems
so you can get an inside view of how some poets
have worked and re-worked their poems to bring
them from “there” to “here.” How different Yeats’
poem, Among School Children, would be if, instead
of the famous line, “How can we know the dancer
from the dance?” he’d left it as it was in the first
draft, “It seems the dancer and the dance are one!”
We’ll discuss and critique one poem a day from
each poet, so by the end of the workshop, you’ll
have detailed feedback on five poems that you
then can apply to the rest of your manuscript.
The feedback will be presented in a way that will
help you not only make these poems better, but
become a stronger poet for the new poems you
have yet to write.
This Poetry Week track will run concurrently with
New Poems from 9 a.m. to noon, and all participants
join together for craft talks by faculty and special
guests from 2-4 p.m. and evening readings by
students and faculty.
Skill Level: Poets who are ready to revise courageously in service to the poem.
Tuition: $725
Enrollment limited to 10 students.
ELLEN BASS poetry books include Like A Beggar
(Copper Canyon, 2014), The Human Line, Mules of
Love, and the groundbreaking anthology of

REGISTRATION
Enrollment Procedures
All applications must be accompanied by the
completed registration form, the $25 application

The balance of all tuition, room and board fees will
be due in full at least 30 days before class begins.
A late registration fee of $50 will be added to all
accounts which are past due. All past due accounts
will be turned over to a collection agency after
September 30, 2014. Please make every effort to
register as early as possible so you will receive your

any necessary forms. For late registrants, class
placement cannot be guaranteed until payment
in full is received by Idyllwild Arts.

scheduled to begin.
Enrollment is automatically confirmed upon full

Refunds
3) If Idyllwild Arts cancels a class, all fees are
refundable in full.
The Summer Program’s planning, hiring, purchasing
and related expenses are directly determined by
the number of enrollments received in the early
Spring. Therefore, no refunds are made for early
withdrawals, student cancellations or no-shows
(regardless of accident, illness, or change of plans)
except as follows.
Idyllwild Arts is not able to apply non-refundable
payments to a future summer program.
There are no exceptions to this policy.

Students may check in from 3 to 5 p.m. on the
day before their workshop begins, or between 8
