The class will be held at the Clay Studio from 6 - 8:30 pm on Wednesdays, running from October 12th through November 16th. (6 weeks)

Included with instruction is twenty-five pounds of cone 6 clay (Standard Brown 112) and six Open Studio tickets.

Radiant Material exhibiting artist, Tommy Bobo will offer a talk about his work. Bobo makes art primarily with lights and computers, but also enjoys watercolors, writing, and video. Bobo says about the works in the Radiant Material exhibition, “For years I have sought to make light a tangible mass, but my recent works treat light as a liquid. They splash light on the wall, let it soak in, and flow down. The works owe an equal debt to the sacred stained glass, music venue light shows, and science kits I had as a child.”

The Department of Music presents this Fall's musical, A Grand Night for Singing (Directed by Ernest Green). This musical collects over 30 works by Rodgers & Hammerstein and turns them into something new with artful arrangements and grand interpretation.

This 1-day ceramic techniques workshop will introduce students to hand-carved decorative embellishments. Previous clay experience is required. Students will be provided leather hard ceramic tiles for instruction and are encouraged to bring one or two simple forms to practice with at the end of the session. Leather-hard to hard-leather is preferred, and please use smooth clay. Students are also encouraged to bring some soft pencils, a flexible ruler, and some simple sample geometric designs and sketches for inspiration.
