Description

Clay Sculpture Intensive
In a purpose‑built ceramics studio, students deepen their practice of contemporary sculptural ceramics through advanced hand‑building techniques and material exploration. They expand their understanding of clay, tools, equipment, and processes while crafting expressive, figurative, and experimental forms. Through research, critique, and engagement with both historical and contemporary ceramic artists, students develop a more intentional approach to form, surface, and construction, strengthening their technical skill and conceptual clarity in three‑dimensional work.
The Art & Design Intensive Programs are yearlong, once-per-week programs designed for students ages 10-19 who wish to dive deep into a focused program area and develop a more thorough and rigorous artistic practice. Students will push themselves on more advanced concepts of craft and technique and develop close community in a supportive environment. At the core of the curriculum is the enhanced development of each students’ voice through close mentorship and expanded learning opportunities such as group critique and exhibition. Regular attendance is required.
