Pratt has partnered with the Seattle Design Center to undertake a project pairing the creativity of artists and designers to create unique, unexpected versions of an everyday household item: the chair. Each team starts with the bones of a chair provided by Chicago furniture maker Baker, which they will alter to express their collaborative vision. The artist/designer teams will come together to reveal their creations at Seattle Design Center's Northwest Design Awards Gala in February. After the gala, the chairs will be displayed at Nordstrom in downtown Seattle and other venues throughout the city until they are auctioned off in August 2011, with proceeds benefiting Pratt. Artists participating in the project include Laura Ward, Steve Jensen, Chris McMullen, Larry Calkins, Tom DeGroot, Piper O'Neill, Romson Bustillo, Brian Murphy, Jared Rue, and Judith Kindler. Artwork by participating artists is featured in a group show at the Design Center through August 2011.

diverse disciplines

The art collaborative Combat Paper (www.combatpaper.org) teaches workshops that feature processes historically rooted in the traditions of hand papermaking. The instructors of Combat Paper usually work with veterans, helping them to turn their uniforms into paper pulp and which they then use to create personal and unique works of paper art. In this workshop, you will use rag paper pulp and learn basic sheet formation using a mould and deckle. This will then be used as the basis for creating personal journals, or as a medium on which to write or print personal images or stories. Combat Paper will also demonstrate pulp printing using silk screen images, pulp painting, and basic binding techniques. Through a series of papermaking and creative exercises, you will be encouraged to express your personal experiences.

G.A.S. Intensive: Kiln Cast Mold Making: Floating Cores for Hollow Work

G.A.S. Intensive: Graphic Glass: Screenprinting for Kilnformers

Kiln Cast work requires a wide variety of mold making techniques. The hollow form, either vessel or sculpture, is stronger and lighter when the core is integrated and connected to the outer layers. You will make a hollow form, build a floating core mold, and invest it with lead crystal through crucible casting. Demonstrations will show you how to utilize this process for forms that have texture and detail on the interior as well exterior. The final class will include de-vesting the mold and an introduction to coldworking. Prerequisite: None

Crossing from pen and ink to computer, from kiln room to print studio, this class is designed to incorporate your imagery into glass artwork.

A few square centimeters of space with a high concentration of focus and energy in a world in which time limits, economic investment, and digital communication set the standard. The starting point of this workshop is a photograph which relates to the world of jewelry in the broadest sense. We will go on a process of 'translating' an image through describing, drawing, and associating with a wide range of materials. Material research accompanied by thinking in possibilities, rather than in solutions will result in a personal, non-traditional jewel. Prerequisite: At least one year Jewelry/ Metalsmithing experience

Confirmation: Pratt confirms paper registrations by mail and within two weeks. Students who do not receive a confirmation or who have registered fewer than two weeks before the first day of class should contact the front desk to confirm enrollment and receive class information. Online registrations receive immediate confirmation. Pratt will not issue refunds to students who do not receive confirmations.

Open Fridays: Pratt Fine Arts Center offers students enrolled in classes the opportunity to practice techniques they are learning through the following Open Friday studio use policy. Students enrolled in a class have access to that studio on the Friday of the week that their class occurs and only for the duration of their class session. The student may stay up to 8 hours to practice their techniques (in the studio in which their class occurs, not any other studio). Students must sign in and indicate which class they are enrolled in. Enrolled students have priority over independent users. Studio space and tools are limited, and sharing them is expected of all users. The Studio Monitor has the authority to determine tool and space sharing, in addition to overseeing proper and safe use of tools and studio. If there is no monitor present, the studio is not open to students. We do not guarantee that every Friday will be available due to holidays, events, maintenance and Pratt activities. Supplies and materials are limited on Free Fridays and will be administered by the monitor working that day.

Adding Classes: Students may add classes to an existing registration by calling 206.328.2200 x0 or online at www.pratt.org. Waiting Lists: If a class is full the student will be placed on a waitlist. If space becomes available in a class, waitlisted students will be offered the space in sequential order and contacted by phone or e-mail. Please do not attend the first session unless you have been contacted by Pratt. If paying with a credit card, no charges are assessed until the student is placed in a class. Payments by cash or check from waitlisted students will be refunded when the class starts if the student is unable to join the waitlisted class. Withdrawals and Refunds: If Pratt cancels a class or significantly alters a class a full refund will be issued unless the student decides to be placed in an alternate class. In order to withdraw from a class voluntarily students must submit a signed drop form to the front desk. Drop forms may be submitted by US Mail, e-mail, or fax, but must clearly bare the student’s signature. Students who withdraw from a class at least ten days prior to its first meeting will receive a full tuition refund less the drop fee. The $15 drop fee is associated with withdrawing from a class. Please note that the $15 processing fee is not part of tuition and therefore is not refundable. Refunds will be issued within 14 business days from the date of PA G E 1 O F 2

Missed Classes: There are no discounts or refunds for missed classes.

Processing Fee: There is a non-refundable $15 per class processing fee for all students at Pratt enrolling in workshops or classes. Pratt refunds this fee only when Pratt cancels or significantly alters a class or workshop. Drop Fee: There is a $15 drop fee for each class dropped at any point during registration. The fee is subtracted from any refund due to the student. The drop fee is charged when a tuition refund is due to the student. The fee does not apply to students who add one class for each dropped class in a given quarter. Class Cancellations: All classes not meeting their minimum enrollment one week prior to their start date may be cancelled. Pratt calls all affected students to explore placement in alternate classes.

SCHOL ARSHIP EXHIBITION

at Bellevue Art Museum Community Room 510 Bellevue Way NE Bellevue, WA 98004 EXHIBITION: FEB. 11 – APRIL 23 Opening: March 4, 5:30-7:30pm (Free Friday at BAM) Scholarship recipients in the show are Granite Calimpong, Isabella Leary, Jenny Wittlinger, Julia Harrison, and Armelle Bouchet O'Neill

(Dan Lownstien: continued) Guiltboys, Leatherbirds, Boneheads and other Bits is an exhibition of prints and sculpture that are based on unaltered everyday found things. Loewenstein uses printmaking processes to draw attention to the unseen and combine disparate graphic elements. Some of his sculpture is cast found objects, but cast in such a way as draw attention to their hyper-real physicality. The common thread that links the work together is the transformation of the mundane into the wondrous.
