Info For
Chris Longwell, Associate Professor of Art at Elmira College, received a grant from the Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes to provide summer art classes to Chemung County high school students. The grant covers the associated costs so that students can attend the workshop for free.
The workshop includes five sessions and will be held in the Elmira College ceramics studio.
Students must be attending a high school in Chemung County and going into their sophomore, junior, or senior year in the fall of 2024.
Longwell will demonstrate and discuss the techniques related to the ceramic arts process. Students will craft a variety of works using several techniques including forming, glazing, and firing. This opportunity will help students understand how firing in different kilns affects the clay and the glaze and they will be able to practice methods used by artists to control these effects.
Those interested in participating in the workshop can reach out to Chris Longwell at clongwell@elmira.edu.
