Instructor: Susan Lasch Krevitt
Monday - Tuesday
June 7 - 8
10am - 4pm
2 Sessions at Castle Hill’s Main Campus
Sometimes the hardest part of making a new painting is just getting started……
In this 2 day workshop we’ll use small panels, adding two- & three- dimensional elements to create engaging starting points that disrupt the abyss of the blank panel. We’ll experiment with thread, fabric, book pages, pattern tissue, cardboard, photographs & more!
Working on multiple panels at once makes it easier to try new ideas & respond to unexpected results. It also allows you to put a panel aside if you get stuck & come back to it with fresh eyes.
All materials needed to create elements will be provided by instructor.
Participants will bring multiple 6”x6” panels primed with 3 coats of medium
I look forward to speaking with each of you by phone prior to class!
Feel free to reach out with questions or concerns!!!
Susan Lasch Krevitt received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she majored in Sculpture & Material Studies. Susan uses new & up-cycled textiles, rubber, cardboard, metal, leather & whatever it takes to build non-objective, free standing & wall hung sculptural paintings. She is passionate about materials, always looking for possibilities to incorporate something new. Her organic, process driven work explores themes of structure, connection, transformation & memory. She finds inspiration through observations of the natural world including growth & decay, earthly & underwater life forms & plants, especially cactus & succulents. Her work has been exhibited in galleries & museums internationally & throughout the United States since 1985. Susan has shown work at the Cape Cod Museum of Art & The Provincetown Art Association & Museum. In California, she’s shown at The Chaffey Community Museum & The Riverside Art Museum. A free standing sculptural piece was included in a group show at The Painting Center in NYC.
Susan was a featured artist in an article published in The Surface Design Journal. Of 50 international artists she was one of only 3 artists from the United States whose work was chosen to be included in Feel Free, a show that traveled around the world for 3 years. Susan teaches workshops & works one on one with artists in her Thousand Oaks, California studio.
