So Much Drama is a four-day generative stage and screenwriting course for teenagers that explores the structure and forms around both playwriting and film writing. Throughout the week, we’ll practice getting down the structure and format, discuss our favorite plays and films, and create our own short works ready for the stage and screen.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of fresh writing, peer feedback, and practical tools to continue your writing journey beyond the workshop.

Come ready to write, share, and grow.

This workshop is open to writers of all levels and genres.

This class invites students to paint intimate scenes inspired by memory, relationships, and everyday life, with an emphasis on mood and emotional clarity over technical precision.

Working in acrylic, students will translate personal moments into visual scenes through thoughtful composition, cropping, and simplified forms. The course explores how interiors and personal spaces can act as emotional containers, and how color, atmosphere, and figure/environment relationships contribute to meaning.

Students will develop one or two small-scale paintings over the course of the class, refining cohesion and narrative focus, and will conclude with a supportive group critique centered on emotional resonance and visual connotation.

All supplies will be provided via the supply fee.

Evolve beyond standard presets and discover the limitless potential of the digital powerful lines of the historic railroad, the vibrant character of unique storefronts, and the hidden gardens tucked away among the city’s historic architecture. 

Using your own smartphone or digital camera, you’ll hunt for inspiration in everything from rusted textures to blooming nature. Back in the lab, your digital device is just the beginning; you'll learn to transfer your images to the desktop and use Krita’s professional-grade tools to deconstruct and reimagine your shots.

Whether you are crafting surrealist dreamscapes, painterly portraits, or bold “glitch” art, this week is about total creative independence and mastering the modern alchemy of digital expression. Capture the world in all its details; then, entirely on your own canvas.

Unlock the secrets of professional sculpture in this intensive, one-week studio!

Figures in Motion moves beyond basic clay modeling to teach the “inside-out” method used by master sculptors. Students will learn to engineer custom wire armatures-internal skeletons that provide the strength and balance needed for dynamic, gravity-defying poses.

Whether your interest lies in wildlife, human anatomy, or character design, this class provides the technical foundation to bring your vision to life.

With three hours of daily studio time, students will have the “creative breathing room” to focus on anatomical accuracy, structural engineering, and fine surface textures. The workshop is designed to support individual goals, allowing students to work at their own pace to produce a portfolio of work or a single, highly refined sculpture.
