Professional Photographs of Your Artwork

Seattle Design Center, Suite P274

For those just starting out, or maybe you just haven't had time to get some of your newest work photographed, NWSSA & the Community Artists Program have teamed up and arranged a time and space for you to get your work professionally photographed by Gregg Krostad of Krostad Photography on Friday March 14th.   

What we learned from our previous workshops is that this kind of an arrangment works well for your needs. Show up with your work, at least 15 minutes before your designated time, (with about 5, or a few more pieces depending upon size - don't have 5 pieces? Consider bringing a friend.) and Greg will photograph your work. Within two weeks you will have both hi-res and low-res images on disk for your professional portfolio (and for your "Members Gallery" place on the NWSSA web site, if you aren't up there yet or need an update). It'll be worth it.

If you have questions give Anne a call: 206-789-8342

Carving the Human Figure - Sabah Al-Dhaher

Sabah's Studio

For sculptors who have been hesitant to try figurative carving, this workshop format allows them to gain a quick familiarity with carving the figure. For those with figurative carving experience this workshop provides an opportunity to sharpen those skills.

The workshop will provide all hand tools and limestone (see materials fee at check out) for up to 8 people. Sabah will demonstrate the process of carving the human figure with hand tools on limestone. The workshop will be one-on-one instruction and open to all levels. 

Participants will learn about basics of the human figure, its form, line, volume, and proportion.  You will be encouraged to bring you own feeling into the form.  Sabah's technique stresses working quickly and decisively and  trusting in one’s innate ability to overcome hesitation.

To learn more about Sabah take a look at Pratt's Oct/Dec Magazine (pg 11 [CLICK HERE]) or visit his website.
