NEW DATE SM0412 May 19, 2012 (10am - 12pm) Sat morning (River Room, Mill Building)

The principles of networking haven't changed in decades, but the social scene is all new. Whether you are apprehensive, dragging your feet, or ready to embrace social networking online, this seminar will introduce you to the world of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and more. Learn all the tips and tricks of how to gain a following, expand your art's audience and get your name out into the world without having to shamelessly self-promote. Social networking is about building a community of like-minded people and sharing ideas, but it is also a science. Are you aware that there is a right and a wrong time of day to announce your upcoming exhibit? Did you know that you can tweet like you're out on the town while you're really fast asleep? Are you wondering what the heck a tweet is? Learn the nuances of privacy settings, the dirt on posting copyrighted original artwork, and the outright importance of social networking in the business of art.

Are you fascinated with handmade glass beads? Have you ever wondered just how they are made? This 4-hour Sampler Workshop will introduce you to the exciting world of Lampworking. Students will use Effetre (soft glass) rods, stringer, and frit to create eight different glass bead designs. You will learn how to use gravity and a handful of tools to shape and design the glass. After four hours, you can expect to have made a handful of beads that you can use to make a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art. A studio/materials fee of $20 is due at time of registration.

Try something new for 3 to 4 hours in a Sampler Workshop. Get an overview of the technical processes and creative possibilities of a specific medium. Acquaint yourself with the tools and equipment used in the studio and experience a hands-on introduction to the materials. Between tuition and materials, a Sampler Workshop will always cost $100 or less.
