If you’ve missed rubbing Warner Bentley’s nose the last few months, you’ll be happy to know he’s currently at the Courtyard Café. Stop by for some good luck!

Next up, Ceramics Studio Director Jenny Swanson shows us around the studio’s temporary home, in the Black Family Visual Arts Center, Room 333. Come check it out!

Meet The Hopper (as we like to call it)! It’s our new production rig for storing and transporting the stuff we need to get the arts out everywhere. Welcome to the team… and nice outfit!

While we wait for the brand new Jewelry Studio in the Black Family Visual Arts Center to be completed later this term, students had fun making wire rings in pop-up classes and maker sessions in Wilson Hall.

Construction has officially begun! The Courtyard Cafe is still open - accessible through the Hood Museum.

And Jewelry/Metal Director Jeff Georgantes welcomes us to the studio’s new home, already buzzing with creation! (In the Black Family Visual Arts Center, Room 333.)

The student workshops are open! Hear from Woodworking Director Greg Elder and Instructor Pete Michelinie about the new space for the Woodshop, located in a modular building on the Maffei Plaza between the Hop and the Black Family Visual Arts Center.

This week sees our first events in the newly reopened Rollins Chapel with two concerts where music and spirituality come together for a transcendent experience. The beautiful, interfaith space will host Kings Returns’ gorgeous a cappella melodies on Wednesday followed by Sally Pinkas’ From Vienna with Love concert on Thursday. Stay tuned for more this winter!
