SUMMARY:Found Sculpture: Thrift Store Edition
DESCRIPTION:Sculpture Series with Michael Gerber \nExplore sculpture techniques with Michael through costume mask-making\, polymer clay miniatures\, found-object sculpture\, and nature-based earth sculptures. All classes are beginner friendly! Most supplies are included unless specifically noted. \n  \nThis class: \nFound Sculpture: Thrift Store Edition \nInstructor: w/ Michael Gerber \nCost: $35 per person \nTime and date(s): Saturday\, December 5th\, 2026 1:00PM-4:00PM \nLocation: Art Lab’s 3D Lab \nSkill level: Any \nAudience: age 12-adult \nDescription:\nEver seen a beat-up teapot\, a rusty doorknob\, or a handful of old brass buttons and thought “I could make something from that!” In this class\, you’ll build a unique 3D sculpture out of secondhand and thrifted materials (think broken jewelry\, electronic components\, fabric scraps… whatever catches your eye!) We’ll supply an assortment of found objects to compliment or contrast anything you bring from home! Combine them with a variety of wire\, adhesives\, and air-dry clay to build something beautiful or just kitschy and strange! \nFor an extra twist\, you can opt into our item lottery: draw a few mystery objects at random and challenge yourself to work them into your piece. No sculpting experience required\, but bring your sense of humor and adventure! \n  \n  \nOther classes in the series: \nCostume Mask Making Saturday\, October 17th & 24th from 1:00PM-4:00PM \nFound Sculpture: Thrift Store Edition\, Saturday\, 12/5/26 from 1:00-4:00PM \nSticks and Stones (Nature Sculpture) Saturday\, 1/16/27 from 1:00PM-5:00PM \nMaking Faces\, Saturday\, 2/20/27 from 1:00PM-4:00PM \n3D Character Sculpture Saturday\, 3/20/27 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM \n  \n  \n  \nAbout the Instructor: \nMichael Gerber has over 30 years of sculpting experience and more than 15 years of experience in pyrography\, working across a range of media from character sculpture to burned wood pieces. He owned and operated Mikey Burns Things\, a commission-based studio for pyrography and sculpture\, and has a particular affinity for character creation\, having studied film and stop-motion animation and applied that knowledge to designing and building sculpted characters. \nMichael holds an MFA in Theatre from Ohio University and a BA from Western Oregon University\, and brings additional experience as a writer\, director\, and performer\, including a role as Artistic Director of Barter Youth Academy at Barter Theatre\, and as owner/operator of Appalachian Performing Arts Academy. That background in performance and timing informs how he approaches character\, form\, and storytelling in his sculptural work. \nAt the Art Lab\, Michael draws on this range of experience to help students build technical skill and find their own voice in sculpture and pyrography. He lives with his two cats\, Chetney and Zeke\, surrounded by sculptures and pyrography pieces\, in a house that always smells vaguely like a campfire.

SUMMARY:Sticks and Stones (Nature Sculpture)
DESCRIPTION:Sculpture Series with Michael Gerber \nExplore sculpture techniques with Michael through costume mask-making\, polymer clay miniatures\, found-object sculpture\, and nature-based earth sculptures. All classes are beginner friendly! Most supplies are included unless specifically noted. \n  \nThis class: \nClass Title: Sticks and Stones (Nature Sculpture) \nDate/Time Saturday\, January 16th 1:00PM-5:00PM \nCost: $40.00 \nLocation: Art Lab’s 3D Lab \nSkill level: Any \nAudience: 12-adult \nDescription: \nStep outside\, gather what the world’s already made\, and turn it into something new. We’ll kick things off with a short nature walk around the museum grounds\, where you’ll collect sticks\, twigs\, leaves\, pebbles\, and stones to use in your sculpture. We’ll also provide a selection of natural materials if you’d rather skip the scavenger hunt\,  or bring your own from home if you’ve already got a favorite piece of driftwood or a rock you can’t put down. \n  \nBack in the studio\, you’ll combine your finds with clay\, wire\, and glue to build a sculpture rooted in the natural world — literally. Whether you go abstract\, whimsical\, or true-to-nature\, the materials are yours to shape. All skill levels welcome. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOther classes in the series: \nCostume Mask Masking\, Saturday\, October 17th & 24th from 1:00PM-4:00PM \nFound Sculpture: Thrift Store Edition\, Saturday\, 12/5/26 from 1:00-4:00PM \nSticks and Stones (Nature Sculpture) Saturday\, 1/16/27 from 1:00PM-5:00PM \nMaking Faces\, Saturday\, 2/20/27 from 1:00PM-4:00PM \n3D Character Sculpture Saturday\, 3/20/27 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM \n  \n  \nAbout the Instructor: \nMichael Gerber has over 30 years of sculpting experience and more than 15 years of experience in pyrography\, working across a range of media from character sculpture to burned wood pieces.

SUMMARY:Making Faces
DESCRIPTION:Sculpture Series with Michael Gerber \nExplore sculpture techniques with Michael through costume mask-making\, polymer clay miniatures\, found-object sculpture\, and nature-based earth sculptures. All classes are beginner friendly! Most supplies are included unless specifically noted. \n  \nThis class: \nMaking Faces \n$35 per person \nSaturday\, 2/20/27 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM \nArt Lab’s 3D Lab \nSkill level: Any \nAudience: 12-adult \nDescription:\nEver wonder how animators make a face out of clay look alive? In this class\, you’ll sculpt your very own character face\, inspired by the expressive\, larger-than-life style of stop-motion and animated films (such as Coraline\, Nightmare Before Christmas\, Wallace & Gromit). We’re not talking realistic portraits. We mean big eyes\, exaggerated features\, and faces that leap out at you with personality. \nYou’ll learn just enough real facial anatomy to know which rules to break (and why it works). You’ll be sculpting a face of pure emotion: Giddy\, grumpy\, heart-broken\, love-struck\, you name it. Just bring your imagination and let your sculpture make a face at the world! \n  \n  \nOther classes in the series: \nCostume Mask Making Saturday\, October 17th & 24th from 1:00PM-4:00PM \nFound Sculpture: Thrift Store Edition\, Saturday\, 12/5/26 from 1:00-4:00PM \nSticks and Stones (Nature Sculpture) Saturday\, 1/16/27 from 1:00PM-5:00PM \nMaking Faces\, Saturday\, 2/20/27 from 1:00PM-4:00PM \n3D Character Sculpture Saturday\, 3/20/27 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM \n  \n  \n  \nAbout the Instructor: \nMichael Gerber has over 30 years of sculpting experience and more than 15 years of experience in pyrography\, working across a range of media from character sculpture to burned wood pieces.
