Cullowhee Arts Workshops
Written By: Norma Hendrix | Issue: 2018/05 - May
Cullowhee Arts has unveiled its 2018 Summer Arts Workshop Series – three weeks of Visual Workshops where students are invited to Come, Learn, Create, and Collaborate.
Held on the beautiful campus of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, participants will learn and discover new concepts and techniques, and share thoughts and ideas in a setting surrounded by majestic mountains and summer botanicals. Workshops are taught by artists bearing national and international reputations who bring their knowledge, experience, and teaching skills to share with students.
Week 1, June 15-16: New this year, two-day workshops offer a chance to try another focus, new medium or technique. Workshop cost includes all materials and lunches. Choose from Ceramics, Painting, Fiber-Sculpture, Mixed Media, Book Arts, and Photography-Printing.
Week 2, June 17-22: Five-day workshops offered in Ceramics, Encaustic, Mixed-Media, and Printmaking.
Week 3, June 24-29: Five-day workshops in Ceramics, Poetry to Art, Figurative Painting (with attention on the head), Painting Still Life, and Photography: Tri-color Bi-chromate Printing.
Five-day workshop participants will enjoy “lunch and learn” each day when the artist-instructors give slide presentations of their current work. On Thursday afternoons, students attend a “museum talk” where the visiting instructors evaluate and offer insight to the exhibits at the WCU Fine Art Museum. There are two group dinners on campus − the other evenings students enjoy the local cuisine and art conversations over dinner and wine or local brews. The workshop week ends with wrap-up critiques and a studio stroll where everyone visits the studios and see the art that has been made in the various disciplines during the week. On campus housing is available.
Most workshops still have openings. All the details can be found at cullowheemountainarts.org or call Cullowhee Arts at (828) 342-6913.
