With Ben Putnam

This 4-week class combines structured exercises, prompts and activities with a bit of independent making time.  Classes will incorporate readings, writing prompts, drawing meditations, claywork meditations, and time to work on individual projects with guidance if desired.  The goal of this mini-course is to help direct your making practice towards an intentional and meaningful process.  After all, the objects we make in the studio are really just a byproduct of “art;” “art” is the personal practice developing when we’re in the studio manipulating materials.

Students should bring a sketchbook and/or journal, favorite tools, and a spirit of exploration.  Clay and related firing fees are included.  Limited to 8 students.
