SUMMARY:Creative Heights Artist Residency: Yvonne Pepin-Wakefield
DESCRIPTION:Using traditional Japanese calligraphy kits\, participants will learn and expand upon the fundamentals of brush and ink painting. No prior experience is needed. We will begin inside and practice brush stroke fundamentals. Afterwards we move outside to create calligraphic style ink paintings on rice paper of the surrounding Spray landscape. \nMost pieces are completed in between one and five minutes. Less is more when discovering how ink reacts to paper. Not only do you take away memories and many study sheets\, but a final masterpiece on pre-mounted paper. \nYvonne Pepin-Wakefield\, Ph.D. has taught art to every age and ability on three continents. Her teaching empowers the individual to see for themself\, while enhancing observational skills in an engaging atmosphere. She is the author of the award-winning “Babe in the Woods\,” book series. She owns Yvonne’s Art Studio in The Dalles\, Oregon and a log cabin\, a few mountainsides over from Spray. \nThis workshop was made possible by Oregon Community Foundation’s Creative Heights Grant.

SUMMARY:Creative Heights Artist Residency: Adrian Klein\, Nature Photographer
DESCRIPTION:Join Adrian Klein to photograph the geological wonders of the John Day region. Layers of colorful rock from rich reds to bright blues will be waiting for you at a couple locations we plan to visit. This small group workshop is your chance to photograph and get feedback\, to help you think and grow as a photographer. From the golden hours that bookend a day to the brighter light in between you will learn there is no such thing as bad light\, just different ideas in what and how to photograph or process a scene. Opportunities will range from small close-up scenes to the larger landscape. Adrian often prefers to keep an open mind on the subjects he comes across rather than always having preconceived goals of a specific final result ahead of time. \nBeyond the field locations we will visit throughout the day\, there will be the chance for optional meals together. I have found over the years that time discussing photography informally through meals is almost as important as time photographing in the field as a group. While we will start and end in Spray be prepared for driving part of the time to reach each location\, as far as ~1hr with focus along the highway 19 and 26 loop. Car pooling is encouraged. A final schedule will be handed out Friday 10/4 during the evening presentation event for those attending the workshop the following day yet be prepared for meeting up well before sunrise to drive to the first location. If you have specific questions about the workshop don’t hesitate to reach out to adrian@adrianklein.com. \nFriday\, October 4    7Pm Lecture\, Meet+Greet \nSaturday\, October   5am-7pm Onsite workshop

SUMMARY:Creative Heights Artist Residency Grant: Laura Klement & Corrine Vegter
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to Oregon Community Foundation’s Creative Heights Grant\, we are thrilled to host Laura Klement and Corrine Vegter at the Spray General Store to lead a woodworking class for women. \nLearn how to safely use tools in a supportive environment and build confidence to DIY your dream projects! In this class you will learn how to use the miter saw aka chop saw\, drills sanders and nail gun to make and take home your very own boot bench.  \nEach class is built for beginners to learn basic skills including:\n \n\nDESIGN AND LAYOUT\nMEASURING AND MARKING\nCUTTING WITH POWER SAWS\nASSEMBLING AND FINISHING\nAND MORE!\n\n“Ladies… LADIES! You gotta trust me on this. Taking a class with Laura and Enerstructa was one of the best decisions of my life. NOT KIDDING. I like to think I’m independent\, and in many ways I am\, as are you. But learning my way around power tools with Laura\, well that’s been a whole other level of liberation and empowerment. Her classes are about carpentry and building stuff out of wood\, at face value. But they are also about building confidence and community. You’ll learn specific technical skills and be in the company of other like-minded females\, and walk away with a completed project and skills you’ll wanna tell your friends about (hence this review). If you are on the fence about taking a class with her\, here’s my pitch: don’t sit on the fence when you can learn to build the fence yourself. BOOM! I’m 100% Team Enerstructa and I think you will be too.” \n– Debi B.
