Works of art from the Ceramics program will highlight students’ hand-building, wheel throwing, and mold-making techniques. In addition, works featuring glass cutting, soldering, and copper foiling from the stained-glass studio will be on display. Many of the advanced students created intricate projects for the exhibit.

The students in the drawing program sharpened their powers of visual observation to perfect drawing methods and illustrate how tools are best used while exploring conceptual ideas of image-making. Composition, perspective, toning, and shading will be emphasized.
