Sat, 7/26: Tiles as Wall Hangings, Canvas, and Pedestals w/Stan Hunter | 2pm-6pm $65.00 In this class, students will explore texture by adding and removing clay from pre-made tiles. Stan will provide thematic prompts for each tile, though students are also welcome to develop their own themes as they get a feel for the process. The class will introduce key design elements such as repetition, visual rhythm, destabilized form, and contrast to create dynamic and visually engaging work. Once these concepts are in your eyes and hands, they can enhance everything you create. Stanton Hunter is a ceramic artist/recently retired professor, and exhibits his work nationally and internationally. Writings (both authored by and about him) and images of his work appear in numerous publications. He has been an instructor and guest lecturer at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, ran the ceramics program at Scripps College in Claremont for five years, was a Visiting assistant Professor of Art at Pitzer College also in Claremont, and from 2005 to 2024 was a Professor of Art at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. He studied with Ken Price and Ralph Bacerra. Prior to art, he did his undergraduate work in perceptual psychology/alternative education at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, and pursued a career in music before the visual arts. Stanton’s work incorporates vessels, as well as autonomous sculptural forms, site-specific installations with work in or referring to the landscape.
