Feb. 22, March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 (6 classes)
In this six-week drawing class, artist Beth Williams guides students in developing strong observational skills using charcoal and graphite. The first portion of the course focuses on drawing from life, helping students learn to translate the three-dimensional world into clear, expressive two-dimensional drawings while building confidence in mark-making and structure. As the class progresses, students will move on to drawing from their own photo references, applying these skills in new ways. Throughout the course, Beth emphasizes material techniques and core principles of design to support strong, well-composed drawings.
Figure Drawing
This figure drawing session is perfect for those looking to sketch from life. We welcome all mediums and skill levels- want to bring in some clay and sculpt the figure? Perfect. Looking to do some graphite or charcoal? Oil painting? Go for it.
This is an instruction-less session, but we will have a moderator making the rounds that will be available for any questions and small guidance.
We will have an experienced live, nude model with a variety of pose lengths.

RESIDUUM By Second Life Supply
Did you know the average waste percentage for a wood shop is 30-40%? For a company that values and upholds sustainable practices whenever possible, that statistic is way too high. Benjamin Paul Studio is thrilled to team up with Second Life Supply and get the wood and other fun waste that would have otherwise ended up in the landfill into the capable hands of these talented artists.
.
Each artist got to dig through piles of fun off-cuts, sanding drums, and more, and are required to include at least one piece of BPS shop waste in the piece they create for the exhibition!
.
@secondlifesupply shares our love of sustainability and curates art shows every 6 months that utilizes art materials (and beyond) that forces the participating artists to create something maybe a little out of their wheelhouse.

Training Camp: A Solo Show with Rebecca Forstater
Rebecca Forstater (she/they) is a South Carolina–based interdisciplinary artist who received her MFA from Syracuse University and her BFA from James Madison University. Forstater currently serves as Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Wofford College, is on the board of the New Media Caucus, and is a member of Tiger Strikes Asteroid GVL.
{Training_camp} examines the creation of public memory in the current AI-fueled rat race through the lens of pop-culture history. Focusing on Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, Forstater utilized the materiality of emerging AI software to make this installation, asking the training models to contextualize the past given the algorithm's present pool of data. The narrative of this Super Bowl performance, an event deeply intertwined with race, gender, and politics, is a case study of biased ideologies embedded in our digital social consciousness. The outcomes of the objects and videos visualize peculiar amalgamations, riddled with errors, and reveal fleeting instances of progress entangled with societal mistakes, shapeshifting into new iterations.
This body of work was created digitally, designed either through user-friendly AI models and AI models still in testing-phase during 2022-23. Each object exists in both digital and physical forms. Existing first as .png, .mp4, .wav, and .stl files that then find physical form to inhabit this room as decals, TV screens playing videos, and 3D prints. These objects echo the perpetual circulation and transformation of data and society, both on and offline, each informing the other.
