November 2022 – July 2023 | Natalia Roberts uses photography and dance to highlight people who are often overlooked and undercelebrated.
The ASLD Fiber Arts Studio is fully equipped with sewing machines, sergers, drafting tables, and sewing tools, so that students have everything they need to create a fully-finished project.
Students gain all the essential skills through projects ranging from simple bangles and rings, to cuffs and chunky necklaces.
In each course students design their own pieces from start to finish, thereby gaining insight into jewelry design as well as fabricating techniques.
ASLD offers a mix of digital and alternative process photography classes to help students stretch their perspectives in the photographic arts. Students can learn the fundamentals of light, exposure, composition, and creating prints, plus hand-applied photographic processes using historic chemical techniques and handmade negatives and cameras.
At ASLD we appreciate that creativity doesn’t fit inside a box, and we strive to provide opportunities for our students to combine their artistic skills in order to create something completely different. These courses are perfect for students looking to try a new medium and expand on their existing techniques.
