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
There is a 25% cancellation fee for all workshops and classes if requested with two weeks of prior notice. Deposits and payments are nonrefundable within two weeks of the scheduled date.
