Ceramics

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas Global Campus is offering noncredit ceramics classes in an academic setting in order to provide students an exciting growth opportunity with regular feedback. Two 8-week sessions are scheduled to be held at the Department of Art ceramic studio located at 326 Eastern Avenue in Fayetteville. Both will be taught by Amanda Salov, artist in residence, studio technician and adjunct professor MFA in Ceramics from the University of Missouri.

The first eight week session, which begins Monday, Aug. 25, is an introduction to wheel throwing and will focus on making ceramic objects using the potter’s wheel.

The second eight week session, which begins Monday, Oct. 21, will focus on creating hand-built ceramics. A variety of techniques will be covered including coil, slab and pinch. The class will be a combination of vessel and sculptural object making.

Students who sign up for the ceramics class will enjoy the benefits of the university’s state-of-the-art, 8000 square foot ceramics studio. The studio is fully equipped with several large gas, electric and atmospheric kilns, many potters’ wheels, a slab roller, extruders, clay mixers, ball mill sandblaster, full glaze supplies and an area with a walk-in spray booth.

YouthCAN!’s Community Imagination Studio is hosting a new show, “Digital Eye,” photography by Harold Hull.  This exhibit will be on display in the Studio’s gallery from August 15th until September 4th.

Born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, Harold’s passion is to backpack into the back country and capture images of creation to share with others.  Most of the photographs in this exhibit are scenes from the Ozarks, although Utah and Washington are also represented.  It is the photographer’s sincere desire that this exhibit enhances the viewer’s appreciation for the natural beauty around us.

The Community Imagination Studio is located at 818 N. Sang Ave., in Fayetteville.  This show can be viewed Monday-Saturday 10-4.
