Are you new to ceramics and want to learn in a supportive small group learning experience? In this summer intensive you'll practice wheel throwing, sculpture, and hand-building. You're welcome to try a bit of everything or focus on one technique. Tsungwei and her assistants will guide you through the steps to success for multiple finished projects.

If you're an intermediate or advanced level potter you are welcome to join and be more independent in planning your class time and create a variety of pieces that can only happen with daily studio time.

This spring our Program Manager, Cassandra Sechler, interviewed Dan and discussed his creative process, artist background, passion for drawing, and his relationship to Sharon Art Studio.

“I hope that my drawings are a response to what is in front of me emotionally...an instructor encouraged me to ‘create a world’ in drawing and not leave a figure floating in a white space. I think of the background of the drawing as a stage set or as a part of a dream and try to integrate dream and reality in the work.”
