  • Irish Seisiun (Session)

    Flounder Brewing 2 Clerico Lane, Hillsborough, United States

    Every 2nd and 4th Thursday join us at the Barn for an Irish Session! Notably one of the largest sessions in the area we are proud to continue this tradition now in its 3rd year! Musician? Come and join in - beginner or experienced. The 250 year old Barn is the perfect venue to listen to the stings, tin whistles, accordions, bodhrans while sipping on a beer. Unlike a performance, the musicians at a seisiun are playing for enjoyment as much for each other as for anyone who comes to listen. There are a core group of players, and others who drop in now and then. In fact, we never know who will show up or what instruments they will play—all completely acoustic and unamplified bringing the barn to life organically! Usually one person will start a tune, and those who know it join in. Musicians play until they feel like stopping or switch tunes. The origin and spirit of this music is in playing for dancers. If Irish dancers drop by to this seisiun, they will be welcome, too! Feel free to make requests if you know an Irish tune. To this group of musicians, virtuosity is less valued

  • Figure It Out!: All Level Figure Drawing – Session #2

    Saturdays, 9 AM - 12 PM Session #2: Mar 29th, April 5th, 12th Open to artists of all drawing levels, this class offers a welcoming, light-hearted, yet academic approach to decoding the human figure. Participants will draw from a live nude model in each session and loosen up with quick gestures, then move into several short poses (2 minutes and 5 minutes) as well as longer poses (up to 1 hour in 20-minute segments). Anatomy of the skeletal and muscular systems will be observed to aid in rendering the model’s shapes and emotive expression. Using different drawing implements, successful erasing, and achieving balanced compositions on paper will be addressed. In reference to historical and master drawings, we will discuss accurate measurement for proportions, perspective, framing, and positioning as integral parts of understanding how to capture fleeting moments in space while developing your style quickly. The instructor will provide individual guidance or feedback, and at the end of each session, the participants will show their drawings for constructive feedback in a group setting. Students provide: Large drawing board Pad of 18”x24” Newsprint Paper Pad of 18”x24” Drawing Paper Vine Charcoal Drawing pencils (HB, 2B, 6B, F) Rubber kneaded eraser Rubber eraser
