Tryon Painters and Sculptors announces Thursday night and Saturday morning figure drawing workshops at the group’s new space at 26 Maple Street in Tryon, beginning Sept. 8 and Sept. 10.
Both figure studios offer three-hour sessions featuring the undraped human figure. The Thursday night studio runs from 7-10 p.m. Mike McCarthy will monitor this class and can be reached at 828-859-9963.
The Saturday morning studio run from 9 a.m. to noon and is overseen by Dick Neff, whose number is 864-915-3144.
One of the regular members said, “Every autobiography, blog or instruction manual I have ever read in the field of art states clearly the importance of drawing from life at least once a week.”
TPS’ new space is located about a half block west on Trade Street in Tryon, just past the light overseen by Morris the Horse. TPS is three doors down between the Village Book Shoppe and Brock’s Cleaners.
The new TPS studio includes a gallery open Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. There is also a sculptor’s studio with a high-tech kiln and ample working space. TPS’ opening show in the gallery is a members’ show featuring an array of home-grown talent.
Space for these two sessions is limited so if you are not a “regular” it would be best to call ahead for a reservation. Models needed; please call 864-915-3144.
