Occasionally, we will offer complimentary classes to local residents. These classes are posted on this page on our website as they become available. We encourage you to check this page often.
Details:
- Each person may only enroll in one of these classes within a 12 month period.
- You must be "local." Read below in the Am I Local? section to see if you qualify.
- Tuition is FREE, but each student will be required to pay a $25 registration fee and any additional materials costs. If there is space available and you choose to stay on campus, regular housing and meals rates apply.
- These are available on a first-come first-serve basis and may not be used on a class for which you are already registered.
- If you choose to register, you must do this by phone or in person - no online registrations, please. Call our Registration Staff (828-837-2775 or 800-365-5724) and be sure to mention that you are inquiring about the special complimentary class and the $25 registration fee to the person answering your call.

Hand-cut Stencils for Surface Design
with instructor Jen Swearington
2 spaces available
Using a craft knife, learn to cut paper, Tyvek, and acetate in a variety of motifs, patterns, and imagery, from basic to elaborate. Build mirrored images, multiple templates, and snowflake-style symmetrical compositions by cutting layers together. We'll then use these papercuts as stencils for direct surface-design application with spray paint, dye resist, and sewn appliqu, while also playing with layering and arranging intricate patterns together. All levels welcome; good eyesight or magnification and manual dexterity are needed.
