BUILD BIG
Spring 2025

The scale of your artwork shouldn’t be limited by kiln size

Making modular sculpture is an accessible and sustainable approach for working in large-scale. In this course you will learn methods of building large-scale ceramic sculpture including historic and contemporary techniques, as well as conceptual and political implications of building in parts.

Over the course of 5 class meetings you will build a tall sculpture in at least 2 parts. No prior ceramics experience is required. All are encouraged to apply.

Enrollment is limited to 6 students per session.

Tuition is $1,650 including materials, firing, and optional open studio hours. In addition, you will also become part of an active alumni network.

Installment payments and scholarships are available.
Deadline to apply for a scholarship is February 24th.
Scholarship deadline extended to February 26th.
