October

kicked off our pilot PONSHOP Academy Program. We worked with students over the course of six weeks to explore mixed media (collage and painting), ceramics, and sculpture. Students were encouraged to push their boundaries in terms of their creative skills and willingness to work with new materials. Below are some photos from the workshops taught by Gabriel Pons (The Collage Bridge Project), Scarlett Pons (Ceramic Pockets and Masks), and Leslie Brier (Wire and Nylon Sculpture). Good work students!

PONSHOP Academy will be initiating again in January of 2015. Click Here for our current class schedule and registration form.
