NC State University Crafts Center Spring 2019 Course Catalog by NC STATE UNIVERSITY CRAFTS CENTER

SPRING 2019 COURSE CATALOG

The Spirit of Collaboration and Community The Crafts Center recently performed its Program Review, a University requirement that is conducted every seven years and involves a review team of external consultants and creative professionals. The review also included interviews with Crafts Center stakeholders: students, patrons, collaborators, campus partners and guild members, in two intensive day-long sessions. One of the predominant themes in all of these reviews was the strength and passion of the Crafts Center community. Community is the heart of creativity. These days, the power of community cannot be overstated. When we come together to create, share ideas, and support each other in a positive, nurturing and diverse environment, we collectively generate something larger than ourselves. This spring, we celebrate the spirit of community with an exhibition of works by NC State students from Arts Studies [College of Humanities and Social Sciences] and Arts Village, as a result of the workshops led by artist-in-residence, Ray Kass, and sponsored by The Gregg Museum. Kass was the founder of the renowned Mountain Lake Workshop in the Appalachian region in southwest Virginia. In November, he conducted a four-day

Have you taken a photo without using a lens? With a pinhole, you can create an image that has infinite depth of field with outlandish setups! Pinhole photography uses a tiny pinhole to focus enough light to create a photograph. In this class, we will go through making a pinhole camera, learn about using the darkroom, and understand what focal length, aperture size, shutter speed and f-stop all have in common. See Fahad’s work at www.instagram.com/alsuwaidi.fahad/.

An introductory darkroom class. Capture light and motion on film using SLR cameras. Bring your own camera or use a Crafts Center loaner. Students will process their exposed film and spend the remainder of this class camped out in the darkroom exploring the traditional B and W printing process. Class fee includes film, photographic paper and other supplies used during class. See Katy’s work at Instagram.com/katyswalls.

Chance, Randomness and Uncertainty

he Crafts Center hosted the third annual FLUXUS: Chance, Randomness, and Uncertainty art exhibit in the main gallery this past November. The experimental art works were created by students in the Arts Studies course, ARS 414: Interdisciplinary Arts Seminar, taught by Professor Tori Ralston, who teaches for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Fluxus was an avant-garde art movement that emerged in the late 1950s by a group of artists who had become disenchanted with the elitist attitude they perceived in the art world at the time. These artists looked to Futurists and Dadaists for inspiration, focusing especially on performance aspects of the movements. The two most dominant forces on Fluxus artists were Marcel Duchamp and John Cage, who championed the use of everyday objects and the element of chance in art, which became the fundamental attitude and practice of the Fluxus movement. Fluxus is described as a chance situation or random event that has been central to many modern and contemporary artists’ practices across a multiplicity of forms. Fluxus is a creative paradigm for artistic activity that offers a democratic system of creative production in which one considers what one has created, the media and process one has used, and the effect this creation has in the external world. This fall’s Fluxus Exhibit highlighted original student artworks inspired by a number of Fluxus artists from the mid-century. Interactive “finger boxes” filled with surprising materials, expanded photo projects made through chance operations then collaged in place, “found poems” discovered in texts through a process of redaction, and “one minute interactive performance sculptures” filled the gallery.

“ The installations are original, bold, playful and made simply from everyday materials,” said Jo Ellen Westmoreland. “I love how each show features different art works each time – but there’s always the red masking tape.” “The red masking tape is a running theme,” explained Professor Ralston. “First of all, it’s WolfPack red and it’s bold. What is very Fluxus about it is that we’ve re-purposed it from everyday material and turned it into an art form for this exhibit. Typically, masking tape is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted. In this case, we use it as the paint on the walls, floors, everywhere!”

Revisiting Mountain Lake Students Work with Artist-in-Residence, Ray Kass

The Crafts Center hosted a series of special workshops and events with Artist-in-Residence, Ray Kass, in collaboration with the Gregg Museum in early November. Kass is the founder and director of the Mountain Lake Workshops – a community-based artist retreat located in the beautiful Appalachian region around Mountain Lake in southwest Virginia– that focused on experimental, interdisciplinary projects that encompassed aspects of contemporary art, Appalachian culture, and social and technological research.

RAY KASS

Students from Arts Studies and Arts Village participated in a range of projects, including: Smoke Painting: literally, “painting with smoke” by igniting straw on a masonite surface then smothering it with paper. The result is essentially an abstract painting. If you like playing with fire, this art form is for you! Breathing Lines Paintings: in the spirit of artist and composer, John Cage, these “chance paintings” were done using traditional Japanese brushes and mulberry paper. The results are striking. Traditional Paper Mounting: At the end of the series, students learned to mount their paintings using a traditional Japanese method. Each piece was signed by multiple artists. The Center will exhibit these works alongside the actual tools and materials that John Cage used to create his own artwork. The exhibit, “Revisiting Mountain Lake,” will open with a reception on January 14th. ARTS VILLAGE STUDENT, STEVEN NOHREN, IN FIERY ACTION

Announcing New Staff Members!

Paul Cash will be joining us as the Crafts Center’s new Office Manager where a majority of his responsibilities will involve managing business operations, managing the front desk and staff, assisting with class registration, and assisting with digital/social media outreach.

John Metzler

John Metzler isn’t exactly sure where his passion for woodworking came from. “No one in my family did woodworking,” he says. “There is just something about when you nail two pieces of wood together, and it just stays like that.” This simple concept seems to really resonate with John, whether that means coming together with other artisans to create new, inventive projects or watching a class come together. This passion will serve him well as the Crafts Center’s new Wood Shop Manager where he will support Crafts Center staff, patrons, faculty and, of course, students. An alumnus of NC State and the Crafts Center – where he worked as a student shop attendant during his student years – John is returning from Colorado where he built custom wood cabinetry for “luxury brands” such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton. “I’m really looking forward to getting back to the more hands-on feel of working with wood – and the opportunity to work with the faculty and regulars at the Crafts Center again,” John says. John has a real passion for passing on knowledge and is really looking forward to teaching and supporting students in the wood shop. “One of the wood instructors taught me a lot when I first got involved with the Crafts Center,” John recollects, “and I’m really looking forward to passing that knowledge on. There is something about working with bright-minded students of all ages who might ask really complicated questions in the beginning, then within weeks, they may not have all the answers but know the right questions to ask.” The Crafts Center is excited to have John join our staff in early January and we look forward to his leadership and management of the Wood Shop!

Paul was previously working at the University’s Cashier’s Office, where he gained valuable business experience. He currently serves as a board member and technical director for the Raleigh division of the Stonewall Sports League. He was a founding member of the Raleigh Chapter. The League was founded in 2010 as a LGBTQ & Ally community-based, non-profit sports organization that raises funds for local non-profit organizations through organized sports. Paul hopes to transfer those skills to the Crafts Center to help build on the foundations of the Crafts Center community as well as expand the Crafts Center’s reach and impact by connecting with campus and local affiliations. Plan to drop by and meet John and Paul soon! The Crafts Center will announce a welcoming reception for both of these new staff members. Check our website and social media posts for details.

Crafting the Art of Giving

Terwilliger Estate Endowments Honored at the Crafts Center By Alex Freedman Photos by Ross Joyner

“Even when we lived up on the Virginia border, I would come into town every once in a while just to make some sawdust,” remarked Eric Terwilliger, as he reminisced about his time at the NC State University Crafts Center. It wasn’t until he and his wife, Lisa, were considering estate planning that they both realized they’d be making a lot more than sawdust. Eric ‘91 and Lisa ‘94 Terwilliger were honored in October 2018 for their unique gifts to the Crafts Center and an endowed scholarship during a ceremony hosted by the Division of Academic and Student Affairs. Rather than providing a joint contribution, Eric and Lisa each provided a generous gift directed toward their own fond memories at NC State. Eric chose to make an unrestricted estate gift to the Crafts Center — one of the largest in the center’s more than 54-year history, while Lisa chose to start an endowment in support of need-based scholarships for students. Having met and fallen in love as students at NC State, the Terwilligers’ Wolfpack spirit runs deep. But it was their individual student experiences at the university that guided them in their giving as alumni. “It’s been the most significant event, next to meeting [Eric], of my life – coming here and getting a degree,” said Lisa, “When I thought of what I wanted to give back, it was to help some other underprivileged young person get a degree.” Though Eric equally values his student experience at NC State, it’s been his time as an alumnus utilizing the Crafts Center that left an impression with him. Eric says the Crafts Center became his second home, with many visits throughout the past 15 years. Over time, he says, working with his hands became a welcome reprieve from his IT career. Spending time in the woodshop was a chance for Eric to disconnect and de-stress. Lisa saw the change firsthand. “When he gets so stressed out, all he does is come here and he comes home eight hours later and he’s a different person,” said Lisa, “It’s really about quality of life.” “Lisa’s gift is an endowment and I didn’t want mine to be that way. I wanted it to be a lump sum so they could do something extravagant,” said Eric, “I wanted whoever it was making those future decisions to have that flexibility.”

It’s really about quality of life. Lisa Terwilliger VICE CHANCELLOR AND DEAN OF ACADEMIC AND STUDENT AFFAIRS, DR. MIKE MULLEN, ERIC TERWILLIGER, LISA TERWILLIGER, CRAFTS CENTER DIRECTOR, CAROL FOUNTAIN NIX

During the ceremony the Terwilligers were presented with the Think and Do the Extraordinary Campaign Leadership medallion in recognition of their roles as philanthropic leaders at NC State. They also received wooden, hand-turned pens, made at the Crafts Center by a former instructor. The couple also met with university officials who offered thanks for their generous gifts. NC State Crafts Center Director Carol Fountain Nix says the Terwilligers’ gifts will go a long way in furthering the Center’s efforts to bring in new media and introduce new students to the art of craft. “We’re at a great crossroads right now,” said Nix about the Center’s plan to incorporate new programming aimed at reaching more students. She says the Terwilligers’ gift will go a long way toward that goal while preserving the heritage of traditional crafts. “The Terwilligers’ gift is very significant,” Nix explained, “and we are very, very appreciative.” “The arts at NC State are incredibly vibrant,” said Rich Holly, associate dean of University College and executive director for the arts. “We find that there are any number of opportunities that students want to be able to take advantage of and, sometimes, the resources just aren’t there. So, by gaining private support, we’ll be able to create more opportunities that, otherwise, just simply wouldn’t be available to the students.” Giving back to the Crafts Center or any program within Arts NC State is an excellent way to support the entire student body. Arts NC State courses and programming are available to all students regardless of major — a rarity in the traditional university system. To learn more about making a gift to Arts NC State as part of the Think and Do the Extraordinary Campaign, please call 919.513.4101 or visit support.arts.ncsu.edu.
