It all began in 1972, when a group of visionary artists led by Joyce Johnson
launched our creative community in a historic barn, still in active use on the Castle
Hill campus. We’ve grown considerably since then. Now we deliver up to 200
summer workshops at the Castle Hill and Edgewood Farm campuses; off-season,
our Artist in Residence program, free workshops for seniors and local students and
the annual International Encaustic Conference keep our studios and residences
buzzing.
As we begin to look at our 50th year history, we look back with thanks for the many
hands that built the Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill. Working together, artists,
administrators, volunteers and donors have supported us from dream to reality. As
we move forward, education, openness, and community remain our key values.
Today, thanks to the support and hard work of those many hands (thanks to you all)
we stand on a solid foundation, eager to build the future.
Today, we approach our 50th anniversary with gratitude, pride and a great deal of
optimism. We hope you consider a gift to Castle Hill to help reach our anniversary
goal. We are more than half way there!

Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill has served a single purpose for 50 years:
to create an inclusive and supportive arts community by providing a wide range
of artistic experiences to students at all levels of ability. Energized by a faculty
of distinguished artists and writers and enlivened by a welcoming and engaging
community, Castle Hill offers workshops, lectures, exhibitions, performances,
special events and artist residencies. In our exquisitely beautiful rural setting, we
strive to provide unique and inspiring learning experiences to all who come here.
WORKSHOPS IN-PERSON & ON-LINE
Workshops take place on both campuses, so please check the material list as to where
your class will take place. Most workshops are in person but some are on-line on Zoom.
We generally send a link on Friday before the monday class and again the morning of the
workshop. To take advantage of the Zoom classes one needs acess to a computer.
ARTIST RESIDENCIES
We offer Artist in Residency Program in the spring and fall at Edgewood Farm. Additionally,
Castle Hill’s Ceramic Artists in Residence program runs from January to March and
provides emerging artists with the time and space they need to develop their work.
Residents are provided with furnished housing, studio space in a shared studio, and an
exhibition upon completion of the residency. Applications are available online.
EDGEWOOD FARM
This is our newest campus of Truro Center for the Arts, it is 7.5 acres and it provides some
very needed housing for our students and faculty. It also houses a painting studio, a new
green printmaking studio, Sam’s Stage, 3 historic buildings including our finance office,
and a great place to paint in the meadow.
NEW PERFORMANCE VENUE: SAM’S STAGE
Truro Center for the Arts at Edgewood Farm built a beautiful stage in 2021 to be able
to offer an array of performances in dance, music and poetry readings. This will be it’s
inaugural full summer of programming. The stage is named Sam’s Stage after Sam Miller
who was an incredible advocate and supporter of dance. Special thanks to Carmi Bee for
designing it.
CASTE HILL CAMPUS
The campus at 10 Meetinghouse Road is considered the “main campus” and houses our
administrative offices, the Castle Hill gallery, the ceramic studio, a painting studio, a dark
room, jewelry & fiber studio and the wood fired pizza oven.
3Letter from the Board Presidents
We are honored to be serving as co-Presidents of Castle Hill
in this special year, when we celebrate our 50th anniversary by
offering excellent wide-ranging programming for artists of all
backgrounds, experience and interests. To mark the occasion,
we are delighted to inaugurate a new building at Edgewood
Farm with a new first-class printmaking studio and a spacious
second-floor flexible space for painting and other workshops.
The new building overlooks and helps to frame the meadow
at Edgewood Farm and the outdoor performing arts stage
that was completed last July. This brings to eight the number
of working art spaces available for the dozens of workshops
described in this catalog.
This year’s selection of workshops will be taught by the
most diverse group of distinguished teachers we have ever
assembled. It will cover virtually every art medium from
painting through sculpture, printmaking, installation, fiber arts,
quilt-making, paper-making, even Judy Pfaff teaching welding!
In addition, Castle Hill offers what we believe is the finest
ceramic program on Cape Cod, with gas, electric, salt and
raku kilns and the only wood-fired kiln on the Cape. The 2022
offerings are rich and deep and our anniversary will be marked
with special events and programs throughout the summer.
As a final note, we learned over the past two years how to
run our workshops and campuses safely and comfortably, in
accordance with the best guidance available for protecting
against covid. While, of course, we hope that it will not be
necessary to institute special measures this summer, we
are confident of our ability to create and maintain a safe
environment.
We hope to see you this summer at a Castle Hill workshop or
event and to celebrate our 50th anniversary together!

4 TRURO CENTER FOR THE ARTS AT CASTLE HILLLetter from the Executive Artistic Director
Welcome
Every year at Castle Hill is a wonderful adventure, but this is
a particularly special year: Castle Hill’s 50th anniversary and
my 20th year as Executive Artistic Director. Those are two
major milestones in one year and I think we have put together
a summer worthy of the occasion.
The past 2 years have been quite challenging with the worldwide
pandemic, planning, cancelling, regrouping, reformatting and
planning again. Most people have no idea how challenging
that is for a non-profit organization, but we have prevailed
and have come out stronger. During the past year, even during
Covid, we built a wood-fired kiln at Edgewood Farm and an
award-winning outdoor stage. This winter we built a brand new
beautiful building that will house our new green printmaking
studio and a 2nd floor flexible painting studio. It is exciting to
be planning workshops for all these new beautiful spaces.
When we think of learning, we think about what we can offer
that is both exciting, innovative and different. This year our
offerings are more diverse than ever including 37 workshops
with faculty who have never been to Castle Hill before! We
are especially pleased to launch the Osborne Fellowship
program with Morgan State University, a 160-year old HBCU
in Baltimore, to bring emerging black artists who have either
just graduated or are students to spend time focusing on their
artwork as Artists in Residence at Edgewood Farm.
We have a terrific line-up of workshops and events to celebrate
the 50th Anniversary of Castle Hill. This year’s Woody English
Distinguished Artist and Writers Chair is Reginald Dwayne
Betts a poet, lawyer and scholar, author of Felon, a book of
poetry, and a winner this year of a MacArthur Fellowship award.
This summer will also feature an improvisational quilt making
workshop with nationally known artist Ed Johnetta Miller. We
have a star studded group of Ceramic Artists coming from
across the country: Adam Field, Jack Troy, Gay Smith, Wes
Brown and William Baker, just to name a few. Printmaking,
sculpture and the writers this summer are truly amazing. Take
your time in looking at the catalog. Sign up for more than one!
I personally want to thank you for your support of this great
institution. And special thanks to the board of directors who
have put their heart and soul into Castle Hill for 5 decades and
to all that come and get inspired, either from a workshop, a
lecture or an art opening or just walking around the grounds.
In solidarity!
Cherie Mittenthal

THE ARTS WORKSHOPS
Cape Cod’s beautiful coastal landscape is the setting for Truro Center for
the Arts at Castle Hill, a place where such noted artists as Hans Hofmann,

18 TRURO CENTER FOR THE ARTS AT CASTLE HILLNO FEAR PAINTING
Instructor: Mary Giammarino $495
May 2 - May 6 / 9am - 12pm
In this course we will be studying and applying many of the
fundamental techniques of plein air painting. Together, we
will investigate light and its effect on our visual field and how
to translate that onto a canvas. We will not employ formulas;
there is no “correct” way to paint and no such thing as a
“mistake.” It is my goal to equip you with the tools necessary
for a lifetime of exploration with Plein Air painting.
Mary Giammarino’s devotion to light and color is evident
in all of her paintings. While her work is influenced by the
impressionist palette of the Cape, her work is less idealized
and more contemporary by design. Mary’s plein-air paintings
reflect her passion and devotion to capturing the exquisite
drama of nature’s fleeting moods. Returning to Provincetown
to paint and study the Cape light every spring since 1989,
she has had numerous solo shows and exhibitions in Prov-
incetown, Philadelphia and Vermont. Her work is in private
collections and museums as well as all over Europe. Mary
studied fine art at Greenfield Community College in Massa-
chusetts and continued her art studies with a scholarship at
the University of Massachusetts. Today, Mary carries on the
tradition by teaching plein-air painting classes on the Cape,
in Vermont and on trips to Europe.
SCULPTURE WITH INVASIVES (KIDS & ADULTS)
Instructor: Justin Cifello
Kids Group, Monday, May 2 / 3pm - 5pm $25
Adult Group, Tuesday, May 3 / 10am - 2pm $100
Join natural artist Justin Cifello in making sculpture with in-
vasive species. We will discuss the process for working with
these unusual materials, the importance of containing their
spread, and making large works like the Serpent at Castle
Hill. Participants will get to experiment with the materials and
build smaller pieces, either to add to the Serpent or to take
home.
No prior sculpture experience is needed! Participants should
be aware that these are raw natural materials, and gloves and
work clothes are strongly recommended.
Justin Cifello is an organic farmer, amateur naturalist, and
aspiring artist, based in Buzzards Bay. While always drawn to
the creative arts, he came to sculpture by accident. In helping
to reclaim field edges from invasive plants, he learned to re-
spect their strength and flexibility. Beginning with wreaths, he
experimented with larger works, abstract and representative.
His monsters and spheres crafted from invasive species have
appeared in public art shows from Provincetown to Western
Massachusetts.

Wednesday, May 25 / 10am - 1pm
Price of the class includes: Nursery stock juniper tree, Bonsai pot-
composite appx 5”x8”x3”, Bonsai soil, and wire.
In this introduction to Bonsai, students will gain an under-
standing of what the art of bonsai is, learn the basics of care,
design and upkeep of a bonsai tree. Bonsai is a lifetime of
learning, and this could be your first step into an otherwise
mysterious art form. During the course of this class, we will
be working with nursery selected material, working though
the process of pruning, making design decisions, styling the
tree, and repotting it in a bonsai pot. By the end of this class,
you will have your own bonsai tree, an understanding of the
principles of bonsai, and confidence in growing and caring
for your tree.

THE SHAPE OF A WALK:
DRAWING IN AND FROM THE NATURAL WORLD
Instructor: Susan Lyman $495
June 13 - 17 / 9:00am - 12:00pm
“…not focusing on the end destination …having faith that the
path will emerge understep.”- Catherine Ireton
Walking the beautiful Edgewood Farm campus, we will
explore the range of possibilities of “drawing” from, and in
nature. We will work on developing your personal imagery in
both conventional and more ephemeral “drawings” in nature.
Our palette is wide, including representational objects and
drawings in any media to presentational modes of action. You
will be given a list of suggested drawing paper, traditional and
non-traditional “drawing” materials and supplies, and simple
tools. Lyman will also have on hand handmade dune rakes
and various “mark making” materials such as fluorescent
string for ephemeral works. A camera (or smartphone) will be
very useful for collecting ideas and for documentation. The
workshop is open to beginning and advanced students.

WORKING WITH COLD WAX MEDIUM
Instructor: Carol Pelletier $495
June 20 - 24 / 9am - 12pm
This workshop explores the various properties of cold wax,
used as a stand-alone medium or combined with photo-
graphs, collage on panel, ink drawings, watercolor, powdered
pigment and oil paint. Cold wax has many of the luminous
properties seen in encaustic painting but is flexible for the
artist on the move. Unlike heated encaustic, cold wax is used
without heat and does not need to be fused. You will learn to
use a variety of tools to create textures and layers, to create
depth in your imagery. The workshop also deals with issues
of color theory and how it pertains to the development of a
painting. Students are encouraged to work on a variety of
surfaces, including panel, watercolor/printmaking papers,
photographs and canvas that can be mounted to panel.
Demonstrations will begin each session, and each partici-
pant will receive one-on-one feedback. This workshop is for
beginning to advanced artists.
Carol Pelletier is the Chair of Fine Arts and Professor of Art
at Endicott College. She has exhibited in over 60 solo and

OBSERVATION AND IMAGINATION: A LANDSCAPE PAINTING CLASS
Instructor: Daphne Confar $495
June 20 - 24 / 9am - 12pm
This class is a fun, low stress, creative approach to land-
scape based on direct observation and imagination. You will
start your painting onsite, using black and white acrylics,
and finish in the studio with oil glazes. We will revisit the site
frequently to inform your work, so there will be a fair amount
of outdoor observation and painting.
Daphne will teach you her personal technique, which involves
putting down many layers of black and white acrylic, using
thin layers of paint, sanding the layers down with sandpaper,
and then building them up again. There will be individual
attention and direction throughout the workshop.
22 TRURO CENTER FOR THE ARTS AT CASTLE HILL“Daphne Confar’s paintings are the progeny of an artist
whose storytelling skills match her facility with a brush. Her
portraits look like characters in a Garrison Keillor monologue:
self-effacing, befuddled, and guarded people, sharply drawn
with tender shining souls.” - Kate McQuaid, Boston Globe
Daphne has her BFA in Drawing and Painting from Laguna
College of Art and Design and her MFA in Painting from
Boston University. She has shown her work in galleries from
coast to coast and in Europe, exhibiting at the William Scott

RETHINKING YOUR APPROACH TO PAINTING
Instructor: Laurence Young $495
June 27 - July 1 / 9am - 12pm
There is no such thing as a mistake or mishap when it comes
to painting. Learning how to incorporate arbitrary paint
strokes and unintentional marks into your painting will be the
focus of this workshop. Through conscience observation,
23PAINTING • MIXED MEDIA • DRAWING
intuitive decision-making, and experimental play, you will
discover new choices for and insight into your work. Working
from still-life and live models, I’ll challenge you with initial
exercises and prompts you can apply to your own style of
painting. This workshop will inspire both beginners and sea-
soned painters. Come curious and leave delighted.

ART AND MINDFULNESS: MAKING THE ART YOU ARE
Instructor: Bernd Haussmann $695
June 27 - July 1 / 9am - 12pm, (Open studio)
Together we will engage in an open dialogue exploring how
we retrieve information, process and communicate it to the
outside world. We will attempt to learn more about who we
are as a person and as an artist, about the world of which we
are a part, what we care to share and what we are willing to
contribute. In the workshop we will, amongst other tech-
niques, employ secular, non-traditional, Buddhist-based
mindfulness meditation and breathing exercises to go along
with your art practice. The goal is to raise awareness, allow
yourself to open to what you don’t know, practice learning
and unlearning, and free yourself from habits and conven-
tions. The desired result will be your gaining insight, opening
more to the complexity of everything. The goal is not to focus
on sharpening your pencil but on sharpening your mind. If
meditation can be your anchor, art can be your grounding.
The one informs the other.
Bernd Haussmann’s work is visible nationally and inter-
nationally, at galleries and art fairs as well as at non-profit
organizations. His work is part of the collections of numer-
ous collections such as the Art Museum of South Texas,

What happens when an artist is given the space to work and
the time for a good conversation about our work after finish-
ing for the day? In this class, students of all levels, ranging
from curious beginner to seasoned professional, are invited
to work, experiment, and play with their preferred mediums in
a studio setting. Whether working with large format or small
and intimate modes, students will be given a few hours to ex-
plore their creative impulses. During the studio portion of the
class, the instructor will give guidance and feedback, when
desired, as he works alongside the students. Most important-
ly, the last half-hour of the class will be dedicated to an open
discussion of each student’s work with the goal of cultivat-
ing a community based on support, inspiration, and critical
analysis. Ideally, students will discover their creative identities
and/or gain awareness of deeper levels of an existing creative
identity.

July 11 - 15 / 9am - 12pm (open studio)
Shake up your studio practice by tapping into new or dor-
mant ideas in this messy, no-holds-barred, experimental
mixed media class. We’ll examine how fresh media ap-
proaches, including accident and chance can be used as a
strategy for propelling your work. You’ll expand on current
themes and discover how stepping out of your comfort zone
