Instructor Bio: Rebecca A. Flis is interested in a wide range of artistic processes, but her specialty is metal casting. While trained in traditional techniques of casting, she has directed her exploration toward using non-traditional materials. This direction has led to more investigation into the sensory interaction of material and the relationship between texture and form in her work. Her academic credentials are a BFA with minors in Art Education and Art History from Alfred University [2014] and an MFA in sculpture from the University at Albany (SUNY) [2018]. Her work has been featured in many shows including Strange World, a solo show, at the Widlund Gallery in North Creek, NY, and Passing Time, a three-person show, at the Saratoga Arts Gallery in Saratoga, NY, as well as numerous group shows. Rebecca has led workshops on dung molding, a form of natural mold-making used in some ancient casting processes, in New York, Alabama, and even Latvia. In the wake of the COVID-19 quarantine, Rebecca has been spending her time rediscovering her love for 2D media

Filled with poetic language, intense emotions, and unforgettable characters, Romeo and Juliet explores themes of love, loyalty, fate, and the destructive power of hatred. One of the most beloved and performed plays in the world, this tragic romance continues to captivate audiences with its beauty, passion, and timeless message.
