Huge thank you to Kensuke Yamada Kensuke Yamada for an incredible two days of workshop. Kensuke really knows how to move that clay! He built three amazing sculptures in two days, gave a lecture, and did studio visits. It was very impressive seeing how skilled he is at making and learning about his process.

A quick selection of the over 40 clay bodies that the Glaze chemistry class is working on this semester. These five tests are fired at cone 04, 1, & 6. We are the clay bodies at cone 06, 04, 1, 6, 6 reduction and 9 reduction and will be doing shrinkage and absorption tests to understand how vitrification is directly related to flux and temperature ratios.

Charlie Selders ‘27 & Lilah Grove ‘28
August 6-September 8, 2026
Super Powers / Magic Tricks is a duo show
by Lilah Grove and Charlie Selders. The

play and tenderness in what gets taken
for granted; observations stemming from
a lust for life.

What a year! A photo dump of some highlights from this past year. From wood kilns, to print on clay pot lucks, figure modeling, throwing classes, hand building, kiln building and much more! We are busy getting prepared for the cohort for their summer intensive, continuing studies courses, pre college, and turning it all over for next fall’s BFA courses. It’s been a fantastic year and we are so grateful to have such a thriving community of students, faculty, and staff.
