An episode of a radio show I am doing on fairy tales

The Goose Girl: Love and the True Self. 

In this show we will meditate on the fairy tale called “The Goose Girl”. We will discover how this fairy tale is a symbolic externalization of one of the main inner conflicts that occurs in the soul of the person seeking love.

Much decorative and folk art is based on a small number of basic shapes and lines, combined to create a great variety of borders and patterns, as well as stylized flowers, birds, landscape elements and more. In this class we will learn these basic shapes and motifs, and principles of rhythmic combining. We will use them to invent and draw borders, patterns, scrolls, and many other forms and designs. Then we will move on to learn fundamental brush strokes and techniques with to create colorful paintings and decorated objects. To first class bring: pencils, drawing paper and/or sketchbook.

CONTEMPLATIVE ART PRACTICES

Tuition $310 Materials Fee $75

The sessions of this workshop will be pleasantly spent mediating and doing art meditatively. We will begin each class working with our body, breath and mind. Then we will try a variety of contemplative art practices: mandalas and yantras, spontaneous and intuitive art making, working with symbols, drawing our journey, surrealist techniques, and more. The emphasis will be on the process, art as a meditative practice, letting go of the inner critic.

Fresco Weekend Workshop

FRESCO PAINTING
Sean Kramer, One Weekend
Saturday & Sunday, 9 – 4, July 16 & 17
Tuition $240 Materials Fee $35

The ancient art of fresco painting has been practiced for millennia. The oldest paintings we have evidence of are kinds of fresco. In this course students will work on small scale true fresco projects. They will learn to apply the fresco lime plaster to tile, brick, even walls at home. Fresco painting is done by applying pure pigments to wet plaster. When the plaster dries the paint becomes a permanent part of the surface, resulting in a beautiful, soft matte finish.

Saint Joseph and Saint Ann

 

 These were done as a commission for All Saints Church in Concord NH.  The central icon was done by my friend Christopher Gosey (click on his name to go to his website).
