Anita Tuccillo: Firing Charcoal Demo

Watch Anita Tuccillo, local artist and instructor at ICC, demonstrate the process of firing charcoal, a method used to create the drawing material artists use for expressive sketching and design. During this live demonstration, you will see how raw wood is transformed through heat into charcoal and how the material behaves in an artistic context. Tuccillo will also share insight into how charcoal is used in drawing, from bold marks to subtle shading. This is a unique opportunity to experience both the creation of the material and its artistic application. Stop by the Courtyard to see the process up close and gain a deeper appreciation for this foundational art medium.
