Starting next week, we’re switching the roles of our two ceramics studios:
Studio One—our larger space with more wheels, more shelving, and more room to move—will now host intermediate and advanced classes.
Studio Two becomes the new home for beginning wheel and introductory ceramics.
Why the change? Because this program isn’t what it was when we started. Under the leadership of Scott McClellan, and with the strength of our outstanding ceramics instructors, more students are sticking with it—coming back quarter after quarter, making bigger pots, more ambitious sculpture, and serious progress.
This swap gives the growing edge of the program the space it needs to stretch out. It’s a practical move with a clear intention: to support more adventurous work, sharper skills, and a stronger community of makers.
It’s also the next step toward something big: Our ceramics certificate program launches Fall 2025.
Same studios. New momentum. We’re just getting started.

December 24, 2008 Heard on All Things Considered JOSHUA BROCKMAN Fritz Scholder broke almost every rule there was for an American Indian artist. He combined pop art with abstract expressionism. He shunned the sentimental portrayal of traditional Indians and in so doing helped pave the way for artists who followed. Scholder was only part American …
