      <title>Live Model-Open Studio Special Event (21 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.saratoga-arts.org/resources/Pictures/Special_breast_cancer_event.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="418" height="210"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Join us for a special 18+ Open Studio Figure drawing event featuring breast cancer survivor,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Brigid Bennett,&lt;/strong&gt; as our guest model. This unique evening in the Dee Sarno Theater brings together art, community, and a celebration of strength and resilience while supporting an important local non-profit organization.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Participants may work in the medium of their choice and should bring their own supplies. Our Open Studio Coordinator will set up the space, guide the session, time the poses, and control the lighting. Brigid will share a little of her story and pose semi-nude for this special event. A brief peer critique/discussion will wrap up the evening, giving participants an opportunity to share their work and exchange feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Our Open Studio Sessions are informal, community-based gatherings with no formal instructor. Artists are encouraged to talk about their work, exchange ideas, and explore different methods and media while working from a live model. This session is a great opportunity to practice figure drawing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Whether you're an experienced figure drawing artist or simply looking to try something new, come spend an evening creating, connecting, and supporting a meaningful cause.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Preregistration is encouraged, but tickets will be available at the door. Cash only.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Tickets for this special event are &lt;strong&gt;$30 per person.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proceeds from this special Open Studio will benefit &lt;a href="https://tolife.org/?gad_source=1&amp;amp;gad_campaignid=14056338905&amp;amp;gbraid=0AAAAABhfq9Dtmjsh_UJHzylnPFx5T8Sng&amp;amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwrP3VBhBbEiwAnaqpQ5fWfI4CHelOuIYlunYphlhSF3pDKRAur9-wjlRCS532L25ILVhthRoCIswQAvD_BwE" target="_blank"&gt;To Life!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, helping support their work providing education, support, and resources to individuals and families affected by breast cancer.&lt;/p&gt;

Students are welcome to bring their own supplies, acrylic markers and colored pencils will be provided.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Introduction to Copper Plate Etching (7 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.saratoga-arts.org/resources/Pictures/IntrotoCopperEtching.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="297" height="350"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction to Copper Plate Etching&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;taught by Erin Lobb Mason&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this class, you will learn about working with a copper plate to translate your drawings into a printable matrix. Etching is a printmaking technique&lt;/span&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Ubuntu;"&gt;where an image is created by incising into a plate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The ink is held in the recessed areas of the plate by carding on ink and wiping off the excess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You will be guided through the whole etching process, from polishing your plate, and etching your final design in the acid bath. Then you'll learn the whole printing process including, how to use an etching press, inking and wiping your plate, and dampening and drying your paper. You will leave with a few prints of your image!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You'll get two 6 x 4 inch etching plates to create two different images.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;As part of multi-session printmaking classes, you have open access to the printmaking studio outside of class hours, for the duration of your class!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1C2B33" face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No experience necessary! All levels are welcome.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;All materials and tools will be provided for the class.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;After taking a printmaking class, you have the opportunity to sign up for open studio time to work on your own projects!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Painterly Needle Felting (7 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.saratoga-arts.org/resources/Pictures/Screen%20Shot%202026-07-16%20at%202.14.32%20PM.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="303" height="289"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;taught by Cynthia Mulvaney&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bring your creativity to life by painting with wool!&lt;/strong&gt; In this relaxing, beginner-friendly class, you'll create a beautiful needle-felted artwork with a painterly quality—using colorful wool instead of paint.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Needle felting is a quiet, meditative art form where layers of soft wool are carefully placed with a barbed needle to build color, texture, and depth. Like painting with a brush, you'll blend and layer wool fibers to create a vibrant image, one layer at a time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you're completely new to needle felting or have some experience with fiber arts, you'll learn the essential techniques, along with helpful tips and tricks, to create your own unique wool "painting." Along the way, you'll discover how satisfying the process can be as your artwork gradually comes to life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By the end of class, you'll leave with a finished felted piece, new skills, and the confidence to continue creating needle-felted paintings on your ow&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;All supplies for this class will be provided.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You’ll learn about the various types of wool, embellishments and supplies used in wet felting along with all the techniques, such as ‘shingling’, wetting, rolling, in order to create your finished product.. Skills you can use in your own future use to wet felt objects at home!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Power of a Limited Palette: Colored Pencils (21 Nov 2026)</title>

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;taught by Bennett Kimble-Lee&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Color can be a daunting thing, there’s always the question of if you’re using to much or too little. By limiting your color pallet to 3-5 base colors, your work looks more cohesive and has more harmony.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students are encouraged to bring their own ideas for an artwork to class. This class is meant for beginners. We will go over basic color theory, what colors to choose, and how they work well together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;1 Session Class-Saturday, November 21, 2026, 1:00 PM-4:00 PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
