CONCEPT CONCEPT Discover how working with paper CONCEPT
Discover new approaches to
working with clay; experiment with a variety of
additives to clay bodies, building processes,
and surface treatments. Examine how these
alternative approaches produce unique and
dynamic pieces as well as expand the decorative
or conceptual nature of a piece. Students leave
with a digital cookbook of ceramics recipes
and the confidence to push the boundaries of
ceramics processes.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students explore
and experiment using a variety of clay bodies
and processes including paper clay, tape
casting, slip dipping organic materials and using
a hopper spray gun to create texture to apply to
the creation of functional and sculptural forms.
O
as a sculptural element can inform your work.
Create paper castings and paper objects using
Kozo fiber. Students make paper pulp from
Kozo fiber, form paper sheets, and build objects
using two approaches: casting with wet paper
sheets and folding with dried paper sheets.
Kozo fiber makes thin paper that is strong,
delicate and transparent. It holds subtle details
and can be cast onto flexible materials such as
clothing, creating a paper sarcophagus of the
objects it cocoons.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Participate in demonstrations,
slide lectures, individual work time and
continuous experimentation. Students cook
and beat Kozo bark (from the mulberry plant
family) into pulp to make paper. Students
build, and keep, their own molds and deckles
for pulling paper sheets from wet pulp. Using
this paper, students construct forms and build
volumes using a medium typically associated
with two-dimensional work.
FACULTY Kate Roberts received her MFA and ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITIES
BFA from Alfred University. Her work has been
shown in major exhibitions such as the Scripps
National and Parcours Ceramique Carougeois
Biennial in Geneva, Switzerland. She has taught
at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, the
University of Washington, and is currently
Assistant Professor at the University of Memphis.

There are lectures, paper-
making and fabrication demonstrations, one-
on-one and group discussions, as well as self-
directed studio time.
FACULTY Angela Sprunger received her MFA
in printmaking from Ohio University. Through
an expanded printmaking practice of iteration,
the multiple and objects, her work centers on
the contested spaces of bodies. She teaches in
Ohio University’s School of Art+Design and is
the Assistant Director of the Ohio Valley Center
for Collaborative Arts.

Explore the potential of
woodcarving by transforming original ideas
into an abstract sculptural object. Students use
a variety of power-carving tools, techniques and
methods to transform visual and conceptual
ideas into wood sculpture. Design, planning
and execution of power carving in solid wood
by investigating line and form is presented. A
variety of hardwood species are introduced;
students then understand how to render blocks
of wood into sculptural objects while gaining
hands-on knowledge of the type of wood best
suited for individual projects.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Working with
kiln-dried lumber, rotary and reciprocating
power-carving tools is emphasized under the
guidance of the instructor. Adding details and
texture to sculptural objects are introduced
by hand carving chisels and gouges. Students
experience the properties and workability of a
variety of native hardwoods for wood sculpture.
ACTIVITIES Students receive hands-on use of
machine and power tools with an emphasis on
individual projects. Technical demonstrations,
presentations, group discussions and individual
instruction occur.
FACULTY Betty Scarpino is an internationally-
recognized wood sculptor, woodturner and
woodcut printmaker whose work is represented
in numerous museum collections. In 2015,
Betty received the Lifetime Achievement Award
from the Collectors of Wood Art and twice
received the Creative Renewal Grant from the
Indianapolis Arts Council.
