The Emergent Scholarship provides full tuition for Build Big. The fund seeks to cultivate a community of artists beyond institutional models and promote democratized access to ceramic education that is not contingent on finances, space, or equipment. 
Priority is given to QTBIPoC.



The deadline for Winter 2027 scholarship applications is Monday, November 23rd.







Course Description
Taught by Julia Haft-Candell  
Parking: 3033 Dolores St, Los Angeles, CA 90065


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. 

Enrollment is limited to 6 students per session. Tuition includes materials, one firing, and optional open studio hours. In addition, you will also become part of an active alumni network
