Maureen will guide you through the processes of hand raising a copper bowl or cup from a sheet of metal, and forging a spoon from an ingot (a block of pure metal). Learn how to create rhythm with a hammer as you discover how metal moves and make beautiful pieces of functional art. Try something exciting and new, or enhance your artistic practice, through hands-on instruction from the design-phase to the finished products. Appropriate for all levels.  TUITION $520 (Includes a $50 non-refundable drop fee and a $75 materials fee).  Available for Act 48 Credit Hours at no additional cost!  

Join Philadelphia fiber artist and longtime educator, Dianne Koppisch Hricko, for this five-day workshop held in Tyler's state-of-the-art Fibers studios. Designed with adult students and educators in mind, this workshop will explore using resists as a means of creating patterns and textures using Indigo, fiber reactive dyes, and Thiox. Working with the ancient Japanese resist processes of shibori, and contemporary deconstructed silk screen methods, along with wheat paste and glue resists, you will investigate dyeing as a means of understanding design and composition. Everyone will leave class with several hand dyed samples and the knowledge to continue your exploration on your own. All materials are readily available, and projects will translate well to K-12 classroom settings. Enhance your artistic practice though hands-on instruction in an environment that encourages experimentation! All experience levels welcome.  *Watch a past student describe their experience in Dianne Hricko's textile class HERE TUITION $495 (Includes a $50 non-refundable drop fee and a $50 materials fee).   Available for Act 48 Credit Hours at no additional cost!  

Lace structures create translucency and serve as a filter of light and negative space. Lace covers and guards its owner while simultaneously allowing for a gaze through the cloth eroticizing, objectifying, and also empowering the person or thing on the other side. Loom controlled laces utilize systems of holes and spaces. In woven cloth, warp threads are anchored at both ends then crossed in straight lines by weft threads. In this class we will investigate patterns that manipulate that right angle, allowing threads to bend and curve once removed from the tension of the loom. Students will be introduced to processes including open weave, leno lace, and huck lace. Each student will have opportunity to make a sample of each process as well as complete one project of their choosing. Tuition is $550 + $50 non-refundable registration fee.  $150 materials fee covers all materials needed for the workshop. Tyler alums are eligible for a 10% discount.

Open to students entering 10th, 11th and 12th grade. Philadelphia has a robust architectural history, and provides an ideal setting in which to learn about important architectural principles! To that end, we have created a rigorous introduction to the field of architecture designed to mirror Tyler’s Architecture Foundations Program. This course focuses on the visual language of architectural representation and design; and processes related to constructing and understanding the built environment. Students will learn the architectural techniques of drawing, drafting and model making. Through design problems, lectures and site visits, students will come to understand that architecture is a creative search based on both imagination and precedents. Please note there is a $100 course fee for this workshop. TUITION One Session: $1,000, plus $100 course fee Payment plans and limited need-based aid are available. Inquire early! Email us at tylerpce@temple.edu for more information.  Note: Only one scholarship can be applied for each workshop/program. We cannot accept discount scholarships after the registration deadline, or apply a scholarship discount to your account after you have paid in full for a program. 

Are you planning to apply to an art school? This workshop is for you! Designed as intensive portfolio preparation class for 11th and 12th graders, students leave Portfolio Boot Camp with finished pieces that will distinguish them as exceptional artists. Recognizing that observational drawing is often the most important feature an admissions counselor considers when reviewing a portfolio, every Boot Camp schedules time for drawing from still-life, figure models and other live sources. With individual guidance from the instructor and visits from Tyler's Admissions Counselors, students gain an understanding of image presentation, learn about the college admissions process and develop work to flesh out their portfolios that highlight their strengths. Previous observational drawing experience required. Please note there is a $50 model fee per session.
