Clay Day May 12 with Barbara Wolf at the Cheyenne Artists Guild
Clay Day at the Cheyenne Artists Guild
Thursday, May 12
$50 for Guild members; $60 non-members
plus $10 material fee
If you have always wondered how it would feel to have clay between your fingers and see the miraculous transformation from a clump of clay into a recognizable human shape, this is the class for you. The May class will focus on creating a face in 3D You will have the opportunity to experiment with different modeling techniques, usage of various sculpting tools using a self-drying clay, which hardens without firing. No prior experience is necessary, so why not give it a try? The class is small so you will receive plenty of one on one attention and leave with your own sculpture.
Barbara Wolf is a graduate of Central Michigan University, with masters from Aquinas College. With a background in dance as a performer, teacher and choreographer, she always had a passion for sculpting. Her first experience with sculpting clay began in high school and her bust of a man won her a state award of a blue ribbon. Her more recent work is a study in a series of women figures that she sculpted and in addition, wrote a book based on these figures. Barbara enjoys teaching sculpting of the human body and finds that it is expressive, complex, challenging and rewarding. She feels working with the human form affords the artist the ability to express feelings, purpose and emotions that may be hard to verbalize.
Take a day to come play with clay!
Sign up at the Cheyenne Artists Guild
Open Noon to 4:30 Tuesday through Friday.

Message of "love, kindness and peace" behind Cheyenne downtown mural project
 |
| Artist's depiction of proposed downtown Cheyenne mural |
The building at the southwest corner of 17th Street and Warren Avenue is a tidy brick structure with white shutters near the windows.
Owner Ed Murray wants to expand its purpose. He said he wants to provide an artistically beautiful mural on its south wall for people to enjoy.
The mural will depict a cherub created by 16th-century Renaissance artist Raphael. Murray, a business and property owners in Cheyenne, said he wants the art to help revitalize downtown and become a catalyst for more such works.
Gillette artist Harvey Jackson will paint the mural on the south wall. It will be about 47 feet tall and 60 feet wide. “It’s nice to convey a message of love and peace and understanding,” Jackson said, especially given the turmoil in the world.
Currently, a painting of a green martini glass covers part of the south wall’s red surface. The glass is part of the state’s message against underage drinking.
Murray considered a western theme for the new mural, but nothing “embraced or beckoned” him, he said.
During their deliberations, Jackson asked Murray what was in his heart that he wanted to project, Murray said. Murray started soul-searching and concluded that he wanted to project a message of love, kindness and peace. An angel is the best way to accomplish that, he said.
Murray looked at dozens of angel images before he selected the cherub. The image is a departure from a typical western theme. Even so, cherubs have a western connection with their presence in paintings in many Old West saloons, Murray said.
Jackson expects to start painting in late summer or early fall. It should take 30 to 60 days to complete.Read the complete article here.
