Upcoming Classes
Sanborn Mills Farm “Art Underfoot”
Loudon, New Hampshire June 5 & 6, 2024
Join Lisa Curry Mair at this fantastic venue in New Hampshire. Students will each be creating a pastoral scene in Rufus Porter style. Each will take home their own mini-mural to use to decorate their floors or hang on the wall.
Sanborn Mills Farm’s mission is to teach traditional crafts and farming methods while sustainably using its field and forest resources for its workshops and events. The Farm is a beautiful retreat with student accommodations and meals created on site and served in the dining hall.
This will be my second year there. Last year was wonderful! The farm is so perfect. You can walk around in the late afternoon and see farm animals, gardens and beautifully restored old buildings in many corners of this vast property, and have a perfectly prepared dinner with classmates, discussing painting, farming and eating!
Registration is now open and will be available to the first 8 to sign up. These spots will go fast! When the class is full you can sign up to be on a wait list.
Appomattox, Virginia. October, 2024 Dates TBA
NEW! Mini Class
Starting in January 2024 I will be offering to teach individuals or small groups of 4 or less for an afternoon (1:00 to 4:00) at my studio. It’s up to you what you’d like to learn- sketching, painting, gelli plate printing, collaging, Photoshop (or Procreate) or maybe even floorcloth painting (if you ask me nicely!) are just a few suggestions. The cost is $100/person including materials. If you’re interested, send me a note by clicking here. I’ll get right back to you and we can set up a date.
Lisa Curry Mair travels a few times a year to teach classes away from her studio. Each class uses a specific theme (folk art, theorems, tavern signs, for example) and students create paintings based on this theme. Instruction in painting- materials, composition, shading and color theory are covered while individual expression is encouraged. Lisa loves working with students of all abilities! Classes are usually 2 days long, giving students time to complete or nearly complete their projects.
Tuition includes one 2’x3′ primed and hemmed canvas floorcloth, brushes, full scale paper templates, instruction for your design and demonstrations within your class’ theme, best-quality acrylic paints with enough for you to finish your project at home.
If you are interested in hosting a class, please contact the studio. Hosts are responsible for finding a class site (school, church basement, barn, etc.), set up of the space and housing for Lisa during the class. Classes usually fill to 10 students for plenty of individual attention.
