W E LCO M E TO A R ROW M O N T Energy, stimulation, and creativity … these are central to the Arrowmont experience. From the moment you arrive, you feel a rush of excitement as you connect with friends new and old, immerse yourself in art, and refresh your spirit. Though you may spend only a few days on campus, the intensity and vitality of your experience here will challenge you to think and inspire you to expand your creative horizon. This year, the excitement and energy pulse through campus with a renewed vigor as we celebrate our decision to remain in Gatlinburg. Our renewed commitment to this community has resulted in the strengthening of our roots here as well as the security that only comes from knowing that we are at home. Additionally, we’ve developed new programs that will allow us to share the Arrowmont experience with a broader audience, and we’ve refined our existing offerings to enhance your time here. We’ve expanded our weekend workshops to four days (up from three) in order to allow for more in-depth exploration into a variety of topics. There are four weekends packed full of courses in all areas of study.

Our Educational Assistance Program offers Work-study and Studio Assistantship opportunities that allow you to spend between one and four months living, working and playing at Arrowmont as you indulge in the creative spirit of the instructors, students and environment. K-12 Teachers are celebrated and encouraged to rejuvenate themselves here. Take advantage of discounts offered to educators or organize a group for a creative retreat. Our workshops fuse theory and practice and are eligible for Continuing Education credits. And of course, we continue to offer an array of programming including gallery shows and exhibitions, arts education programs for area children, conferences and other special events. We’re thrilled to share all of this with you and can’t wait to have you here with us. It’s easy to lose your inhibitions at Arrowmont – and in turn, to discover things about yourself that you never knew. As you explore our 2011 workshop schedule, allow yourself to dream a little about all that you will learn here – not just about artistic techniques and process, but about yourself. Let the excitement overtake you for a moment, and you’ll have a small taste of that hard to define Arrowmont experience. Then, make plans to join us for an intense creative journey that defies boundaries and invigorates your soul.

Extrude Your Way to Fame, Wealth & Happiness

Beyond the Vessel

In too many clay studios, an extruder is nothing more than an overpriced coathook. Let’s hang the coats on a real coat rack and free up the extruder to do it’s real job: act as an expressive tool that encourages a fresh and direct approach to clay. Once we get away from the clunky, boring and poorly made dies that are all too common, we’ll really see the extruder shine. This workshop is for intermediate handbuilders and throwers who would like to expand their horizons beyond the tyranny of concentricity. Course Fee & ID: $475 | 2011CLY-Jun5 Hayne Bayless is a self-taught studio potter who has won awards at the Smithsonian Craft Show and Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. His work has been exhibited at craft shows and galleries such as AKAR, Blue Heron, Crimson Laurel and Ferrin. www.sidewaysstudio.com

Utilize techniques that temper the symmetry of the wheel-throwing process. This approach to altering consists of faceting, stretching and cutting up sections of a wheel-thrown form and reassembling it. Over the course of the week, produce multiple pieces that examine both technical and conceptual issues within the ceramic process. Learn how individual parts can relate to the whole and how the finished work can transcend all of its pieces. Challenge your ideas of utility and sculpture as you discover new possibilities each day. Basic wheel-throwing experience is preferred. Course Fee & ID: $475 | 2011CLY-Jun12 Brad Schweiger is a professor and Ceramics Area Chairman at Ohio University. His work has been exhibited internationally and published in Ceramics Monthly, American Craft, Clay Times, Ceramic Arts, Perception, and several textbooks.

If Pots Could Walk … Zoomorphic Pots Animals have inspired pottery form in both historical and contemporary works. Take a walk on the wild side and learn to create pots that reference animal forms! Design your creature using paper templates or tar paper, then construct it out of soft slabs of clay (either white stoneware or porcelain) in a process akin to clothing design. Explore methods to merge your ideas with process through sketching and researching various animal forms. The goal is to look beyond purely representational approaches to animal form and explore ideas of abstraction, stylization and suggestion. Bring your ambition, creativity and sense of humor.

Whether you are a professional artist looking to branch out into the world of film or a beginner curious about how to animate, this class is for you! Focus on the unique nature of artistic collaboration in the animation process. Work as a group on collaborative and individual animations to make objects, handmade characters, household items, drawings, or found items come to life.

Course Fee & ID: $475 | 2011SPL-Aug7

Slate is often overlooked as a potential carving material due to its association with more utilitarian uses such as roofing, gravestones, tile, or - going back a few years - blackboards. In fact, slate has wonderful tight grain that accepts fine detail and can be worked up to a matte shine. Its relative softness allows ease of carving with standard fire-sharpened steel hand tools and very quickly with carbide air-powered ones. The flat nature of slate makes it an ideal media for relief carvings; think what the Egyptians did with incised line and shallow cutting! Learn basic Roman V-cut lettering, proportioning, Gilding and some Celtic knot work design. Concentrate on proper tool usage (traditional and pneumatic) and techniques for translating a drawing or calligraphy onto stone. Open to all skill levels.

Ancient Japanese inro were worn from the kimono sash and provided a way for gentlemen to carry things at a time when garments didn’t have pockets. These ornate objects not only provided one with a place to carry medicines and other small necessities, they also bestowed the wearer with status, style, and identity. Like many hand-crafted objects in Edo, Japan, inro evolved over time from strictly utilitarian objects into works of high art and immense craftsmanship. Today, polymer clay is the perfect medium for creating these intriguing and magical objects. Use the traditional inro form as a starting point to create modern wearable vessels that can be worn as jewelry or carried as a small handbag. All levels.

Gongaware Scholarship Fund, the Suzanne Hill Memorial Scholarship Fund, the Helen M. Russell Bequest, the Robert H. Skinner Bequest, and the Rude & Daphne Osolnik Scholarship Fund.

About the Cover: The art of papermaking traces back to ancient Egypt, where Papyrus scrolls were created from plants. In A.D. 105, the Chinese invented paper as we know it today - using a mixture of hemp, mulberry bark, and rags. These fibers were combined with water to make a slurry, then mashed into pulp, pressed to remove the liquid and hung out to dry. Arrowmont students utilized the same process to make the handmade paper featured in our cover photo, which was then dyed with indigo. Indigo is a rich blue dye, historically extracted from plants, that was widely used throughout the ancient world. In this workshop, students made their own papers and learned how to make indigo vats to dye them.
