Painting Workshop With Artist Kathleen Kolb Is Sept. 13-18 at the Brick House

Shelburne Museum offers a very special artistic and educational experience September 13-18. Painters of all abilities are welcome to attend a painting workshop led by acclaimed artist Kathleen Kolb. Participants will make use of the spectacular scenery of Shelburne Museum and the Brick House to explore landscape and still life painting. Kathleen’s instruction will include major components of making work such as drawing, color, composition, medium, and subject. The workshop is residential; however a limited number of day student registrations are available.

Workshop and accommodations will be at the Brick House, the 40-room Colonial Revival Vermont home of Shelburne Museum founder Electra Havemeyer Webb. The house is filled with European and American art and antiques collected by Mrs. Webb and is sited in a breathtaking pastoral landscape with panoramic views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains.

Kathleen Kolb studied at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and then at the Cleveland Institute of Art. She holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and has taught painting and drawing for over 30 years. Her work is represented in New York City by David Findlay Galleries and in Vermont by Clarke Galleries, Southern Vermont Art Center, and Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery. The National Academy of Design awarded Kathleen the Paton Prize for Watercolor in 1998.

The workshop is limited to 12 participants. For information or to register please contact Director of Development Sam Ankerson: (802) 985-3346 x3330 or sankerson@shelburnemuseum.org.
