HILLSBORO — The Jefferson College PACE (Performing Arts and Cultural Enrichment) event series will continue with the Art Department’s annual fall pottery sale on Wednesday and Thursday, December 7-8, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Ceramics Studio in the lower level of the Fine Arts Theatre building on the Hillsboro campus.
The sale is open to everyone and will feature hundreds of student-made items including bowls, cups, plates, vases, candle holders, and sculptures. All items are hand-made, one-of-a-kind pieces of art and make great holiday gifts.
Prices range from $2-$200 with most items costing $3-$25. Only cash and checks will be accepted.
Proceeds from the sale will be used to benefit students in pottery/ceramics classes who learn clay techniques including coil and slab construction, three-dimensional design and sculptural aspects, wheel throwing, glazing, and firing.
The Jefferson College Art Department provides students with an excellent foundation for a lifelong career in visual arts with a broad range of classes in both two- and three-dimensional art forms, including Design, Drawing, Life Drawing, Printmaking, Ceramics, Digital Photography, Graphic Design and Painting in a variety of media. Lecture courses include Survey of Art History I and II, as well as Art Appreciation. Both studio and lecture courses are open to art majors and non-majors alike.
