It's a bit of a hike to Little Rock, but this Thursday, Andrea Keys Connell will be demonstrating her construction techniques and will be giving a free public lecture. I know Andrea personally, and she is fantastic! I'll be there, and you should be too!
Here's another summer opportunity. As an undergrad, I attended an Alfred summer session, and it was hugely beneficial. The structure seems to have changed a bit, but I'm certain it would be a great experience for any of you looking to broaden your horizons a bit!
Sessions are available with Wayne Higby, Walter McConnell, John Gill, and Andrea Gill.
Looking for a good summer ceramics opportunity? Here's one to take a look at.
Are they better off conserving the structure and facade for the sake of enjoying the "art of the building", or by changing the exterior and the flow of the floor plans, will they improve how art can be viewed inside?

Yep. We're a pretty happy lot around here.
Jerry has some strong opinions on this year's Whitney Biennial. The ceramic work, however, fares quite well. I'm very excited to be taking a group of students in May to check it out for ourselves!
Last week, we had a wonderful turnout and a very successful fundraiser at Little Bread company, on Block Street. As in previous semesters, Hannah Withers (owner of LBC) was gracious enough to donate soup for the sale, turn over her space to a bunch of grungy art students, and make sure everything ran smoothly all evening. If you've been to LBC, you've probably met Hannah, and you know she's a gem—one of Fayetteville's finest, for sure. If you haven't met Hannah, or enjoyed a great pastry or sandwich from Little Bread, make sure to stop in next time you're downtown.
Here are some images from the event, in case you missed it!
