Personal Pottery Surface with Majolica June 7-13 This week is all about surface decoration using the technique of majolica. Bring smallto-medium terracotta bisque forms in one or two series of forms so we can talk about strategies for organizing surface, use of color, personal subject matter, and the many technical points of using majolica glaze. Develop several series of surface explorations on work of similar forms to see the way surface changes the perception of the form. Basic forming skills required, however, no previous decorating experience required! Course Fee: $485 Linda Arbuckle – award winning Professor at the University of Florida School of Art and Art History; recent participant in Shared Journeys China Ceramic Symposium with NCECA; upcoming chapter in Lark Books “Eathenware Masters, 2009.”

Create teapots, pitchers, creamers and cruets using wheel thrown and combined parts. Paying attention to form and detail, techniques and ideas will be directed toward the making of handles, spouts, and lids. Surface decoration will include working with slips and carving. Discussion, demonstrations, and slide presentations will offer new ideas in an adventurous, playful and creative atmosphere. We will glaze fire to cone 6 electric. All levels. Course Fee: $485

financial assistance residencies

Applicants are considered based on their expertise in a particular media as well as previous studio art experience and submittal of slides/digital images of artwork. An Assistantship is a great opportunity for artists to gain experience working in a studio, network, and build skills through various classroom settings. Work Study students are an essential part of the function of Arrowmont during workshop sessions. These positions provide essential support to the full-time kitchen staff through food preparations, dishwashing and clean up. Work duties may also include grounds maintenance, art supply store, and housekeeping. Since previous art experience is not necessary for work study positions, this is a great way to learn new skills, gain confidence artistically, and make life-long friends working in a fun environment.

Student Financial Assistance Arrowmont strives to make its classes available to everyone regardless of financial status, age or skill level as an artist. We offer three programs for students to be able to offset the cost of attending a class: Scholarships, Studio Assistantships, and Work Study.

Scholarships Scholarships provide opportunities for many deserving students of all ages and backgrounds to attend workshops each year. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and various criteria including completed application, letter of intent, and a letter of support. Whether an applicant is at a beginning or advanced level in a particular medium is not a factor. Applications must be complete and include class preferences. Classes awarded based on availability. To apply, download a form at www. arrowmont.org/scholarships.html. Application deadline: January 15, 2009 (postmarked).

What are the requirements? Both studio assistantship and work study positions require a minimum four week commitment. You will receive one week of class for each 45-50 hour week of work duty. The week you are in class, you will be expected to work up to 22 hours. Tuition for your week (or weeks) of class, as well as your room and board for the length of your commitment is provided by Arrowmont. Class lab fees and other art supplies are the responsibility of the student. Classes are awarded based on availability.
