I arrived at Snug Harbor about 15 minutes early, before the Art Lab classes opened at 11 a.m. While I waited, I spent some time with other students from our class, and we checked out the nearby vendors.
When the Art Lab classes opened, I visited the ceramics class first. Although I had no experience with making ceramics, it seemed like a fun, hands-on activity to try. The instructor was welcoming to everyone. While the process took a while, leaving my hands covered in clay, I was able to create a simple bowl, which I was proud of.
After washing up from the ceramics class, I moved on to a darkroom photography class. The space was tight and dimly lit by an amber light, but the instructor ensured there was room for everyone. The class was very technical, with many terms and equipment I did not understand. However, I was able to follow along visually, fascinated by the image printing process.
Lastly, I visited the collage class. Like the other instructors, he was very friendly. He provided us with a wide variety of materials for us to get creative with. Ultimately, I created an animal-themed collage.
Overall, my day at Snug Harbor was very enjoyable and meaningful. Iām glad I got to share the experience with my Macaulay classmates and immerse myself in artistic activities I haven’t tried before.
