Pots and Possibilities

June 1-7

“Why alter pots?” is the question we will ponder. Beginning with round pots coming from the wheel, we will push, cut, coax and stretch our forms. There will be a focus on utilitarian pots, but we’ll take liberties with that notion, too. Various ways of making handles, lids, and spouts will be explored. Slides and demonstrations will form the backdrop for lively conversations about everything from making a living, to making pots personal. Process is paramount, humor emphasized, taking chances encouraged. Pots will be bisque fired but not glazed. Intermediate and beyond: throwing experience recommended. Tuition: $440

Small-Scale Figures & Objects

June 8-14

Discover the expressive potential of clay at a small scale. A variety of small-scale hand building techniques used to create hollow figures and small sculptural objects will be presented. Develop unique surfaces through low fire slips, terra-sigillata, colored glazes and multiple firings. In addition, explore epoxy, wire, wax and other alternative post-firing finishes. Methods for hanging and displaying small work will be addressed. Slide shows, drawing, individual critiques, and group exercises will provide ongoing information and stimulus. Expect to leave the workshop with several small, completed sculptures. All levels. Tuition: $440

Form, Utility & Design

June 15-21

This course will get us back to the basics of utility and its design. Lids on containers should fit, spouts on pouring vessels should pour well, handles are made to be handled, yet all of these appendages play another role, they contribute a voice to aesthetic design. It is within these opportunities for design and decision making that creates personal work. We will focus on the physical and visual aspects of these essentials and get to the bottom of their contributions to form, utility and design. We will discuss ornament and surface embellishment, however, work will be bisque fired only. Intermediate to advanced. Tuition: $440

Our goal is to refine our awareness for the design of pottery in order to make it more user friendly. We will focus on making hand built pots that address how our body interacts with them, and explore how form can be inspired function. Demonstrations will include slab constructions to create spouts, handles, lids, bodies, etc., that address these issues. There will also be hands-on exercises and discussions about your individual goals. We will bisque fire only. All levels. Tuition: $440

Design, Shape, Form & Aesthetics

July 27-August 2

This course is aimed to increase your awareness of design, shape, form, and aesthetics in your woodturning. We will work to improve how our work looks, as nothing is perfect! A short discussion considering “what is design” will take place prior to the practical work beginning, as will “working through a design proposal.” An emphasis on tooling techniques will also allow you to obtain a more confident, efficient use of the tools, and therefore, a superior end result. Coloring, gold leaf, and texturing will also be covered. Intermediate to advanced. Tuition: $480

Embellished Bowls & Boxes

August 3-9

We will begin by making open bowl and box forms, with a demonstration on turning multi-center boxes. These turned forms will become objects for embellishments such as burning, texturing, carving, painting and dyeing.

Technology Fee

There is no disputing that the increase use of technology is upon all of us. Maintaining and advancing technology in its various forms is important to keep Arrowmont as a leader in craft education. Over the past two years there has been a large increase in requests for a broad array of technology expectations, from Internet access and wireless service to printing capabilities. Fulfilling students’ expectations is a priority at Arrowmont. In order to do so, Arrowmont has instituted a modest $20 technology fee per class. The fee will provide a stable and recurring source of revenue to be invested in technology. While some may say that they do not actively utilize technology, the increased levels of technical support required for internal operations are also affected. It is our goal with this additional revenue to improve and expand our technology services in the future.

For more information and application, visit www.arrowmont.org/residency/html or e-mail: info@arrowmont.org. Next application deadline is: Feb. 1, 2009.

Scholarships

Scholarships provide opportunities for many deserving students of all ages and backgrounds to attend workshops each year. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and various criteria including completed application, letter of intent, and a letter of support. Whether an applicant is classified at a beginning or advanced level in a particular medium is not a factor. Applications must be complete and include class preferences.

Studio Assistantships & Work Study

Studio Assistants are an integral part of Arrowmont’s workshop program and provide support to faculty with studio preparations, as well as assist students. Although assistants may have a specific area of expertise, they will work in all studios in some capacity. Applicants are considered based on their expertise in a particular media as well as previous studio art experience and submittal of slides/digital images of artwork. An assistantship is a great opportunity for artists to gain experience working in a studio, network, and build skills through various classroom experiences.

Work Study students are an essential part of the function of Arrowmont during workshop sessions. These positions provide essential support to the full-time kitchen staff through food preparations, dishwashing and clean up. Work duties may also include grounds maintenance, art supply store and housekeeping. Since previous art experience is not necessary for work-study positions, this is a great way to learn new skills, gain confidence artistically and make life-long friends working in a fun environment.

Arrowmont considers individuals who are mature, team oriented, self-motivated and interested in the arts. Enthusiasm and commitment are required. Both work study and studio assistant positions are physically demanding and require that applicants be able to lift 50 pounds. Class lab fees and other art supplies are the responsibility of the student. Classes are awarded based on availability.

Both positions require a four-week commitment. You will receive one week of class for each 45-50 hour week of work duty. The week you are in class, you will be expected to work up to 22 hours. Tuition for your week (or weeks) of class, as well as room and board for the length of your commitment, is provided by Arrowmont.

Educational assistance is provided to the student-employee as part of the Studio Assistantship/Work Study programs. As an employee of Arrowmont, meals and lodging are provided on Arrowmont premises and must be accepted by the student-employee as a condition of their employment.

Application deadline: April 1, 2008. (If it is past the application deadline, please contact Arrowmont to see if positions are still available.)

Applications may be downloaded at www.arrowmont.org under the “financial aid” link.
