Adam cannot teach you all there is to know about how to make his Forest Figures, but he can give you the skills to start finding your own creative voice responding to the natural world. All ability levels are welcome! This 4 week course meets 2 hours each week.  Click the link and reserve your spot today!

CREATING WITH NATURE  You’ve been collecting interesting objects from nature….now do something amazing with them.  In the Creating With Nature class you will learn how I think about creating with natural objects and the processes I use to preserve, strengthen and combine the amazing bits of nature I find.  I will provide many natural objects, for students to work from, but you are highly encouraged to bring the natural objects that you respond to.  I will help you develop YOUR vision and create YOUR own artwork!  This class is only offered about once a year so don’t miss this opportunity!

Adam Long’s sculpture, Come What May, has been accepted into the Missouri Art Now traveling exhibition as part of the state’s bicentennial celebrations in 2021.  60 artworks by 60 artists from across the state were chosen to have their work shown at 5 venues. Follow Adam on Facebook for updates.

Adam’s studio didn’t produce as much in 2020 not because of Covid-19, but because he has been rehabbing a new home and studio for himself for 9 months. Although not complete the studio is up and running now!  January saw 6 new sculptures in progress.

Adam Long Sculpture has two beautiful Forest Figures on display at the Jacoby Arts Center in Alton, Illinois in the Against the Grain: Wood Exhibition.
