Part two of Snow Farm Summer's studio walkthrough last Friday! Featured here are some of the projects from painting & drawing, flameworking and ceramics classes. Students explored a wide range different mediums and techniques during just two weeks of studio classes! These teens always blow us away with their incredible ideas and technical skills.⁠
⁠
Of course, we can't fit all of the amazing projects into one post, so check out part one of this post to see stained glass & mosaics, metalsmithing, and sculpture images.
