Architectural Scenes in Ink and Watercolor

$170

with Ed Higgins, Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

Calendar Dec 12, 2025 at 1 pm, runs for 10 weeks

A good follow up to the Ink for Astronauts class. We’ll study some traditional architectural rendering techniques from the book “Rendering in Pen and Ink” (Guptil, 60th edition), and occasionally add some watercolor washes. We’ll use speed sketching to warm up, and tackle any lingering perspective problems. This indoor class will be good prep for any urban sketching excursions you may plan featuring street scenes and buildings. The minimum materials list for this class is a sketchbook and pencils, erasers, a set of artist grade watercolors and brushes, drawing pens with waterproof ink and/or dip pens and bottled ink. Contact the instructor if you have any questions (ed_higgins@icloud.com). Class runs in an open-studio style format. *No Class: 12/26, 1/2, 2/20.

Cookie Decorating w/ Baked by Cam S4

$55

with Casey Marsh, Wells-Ogunquit Adult Community Education

Calendar Dec 17, 2025 at 5 pm

Come learn how to decorate sugar cookies with me! Because of the demand and popularity of the decorated sugar cookies I have decided to teach a beginners class on how to decorate. I will provide 6 cookies and royal icing for decorating. Each month will have a different theme that I have preplanned. (September-fall, October- Halloween, November-Thanksgiving, December- Christmas) This is a beginners class so everyone is welcome! Check out my website at bakedbycam.com 

Instructor: Casey Marsh - Casey fell in love with baking years ago while baking annual Christmas cookies with her mother and grandmother.  She has always been a creative and artistic person (who also  LOVES to feed people) so it only made sense that she start a business doing just that! She is a fully licensed home baker. She completed the baking and pastry associates program at York County Community College, but the majority of her skills are self taught.
