Teaching at the Penland School of Crafts

 This summer I will be traveling to the woods of Western North Carolina to dig deep into concrete and teach an intensive 2-1/2 week class at the renowned Penland School of Crafts.

From July 24 - August 9, 2016 we will be investigating the many kinds of concrete mixes, making beautiful molds and getting covered in concrete. It is Summer Session 5 at Penland, Scroll down this page to learn all about it.

Course description from their catalog: 
-------------------------------------------
Concrete: Renegade Alchemy
Concrete is an elegant and useful material with a long history but a small representation in the craft and design world. Through individual projects, demonstrations, and a class project, we’ll cover preparation of concrete molds, including wood, plastic, rubber, plaster, and fabric; color and texture; concrete mixes for various applications; and casting techniques including wet-cast and GFRC spray techniques. We’ll discuss design, concrete as a surface material in the home, artists and craftspeople using it today, and practical concerns for using it in your studio.

Sign up quick, the early registration deadline is February 11 at 5PM.

I will be posting more info on this page as the class approaches.
