The Bascom Clay Symposium, The Highlands, NC, Free to the Public

The Bascom’s celebrated Three Potters Symposium is marking its 14th year with a new identity: the Bascom Clay Symposium. In its 2024 edition, the symposium will feature animal and figurative ceramic sculpture, showcasing the talents of this year’s selected artists: Christine Kosiba, Andrea Keys Connell, and Taylor Robenalt. Join us for a day of demonstrations as each artist shares their unique stories, sources of inspiration, and techniques refined over the years. The Symposium kicks off on September 27th with a keynote address by Stephanie Moore, Executive Director of The Center for Craft (Asheville).

Due to the generosity of our sponsors, the symposium is free to all and is an event for those who want to drop in or participate in the entire event. In addition, during the symposium, the featured artists will have works for sale—items not regularly available in our retail space

Internal Structure for Complex Forms

Beginner Ceramics Online, $110

In this workshop, we will take a look inside of Andréa’s sculptures to discuss building complex forms. Through this process, she will demonstrate how she moves from an idea to 3D rendering. This workshop will provide plenty of space for questions and group problem solving, as well as meaty conversations around content, form, and the balance between planning a sculpture and allowing for improvisation. Andréa is an open book and is happy to answer questions that students in this course might have about any aspects of her process.

All of our online workshops are recorded and, with purchase of the seat in the class, you have access to the recording(s) between workshop sessions as well as for 45 days after the workshop ends.
