A COOL Collaboration between Ceramics and Painting Classes

When Misha Kligman offered up his Painting I and II students to paint bowls for the Empty Bowls event (taking place in Nov., 2017), it was an opportunity that couldn’t be passed up. So Laura Gascogne and some Ceramics students made “blank” bowls and passed the bisqued bowls on to Misha. …and the results were stunning!

Here are some of the individual bowls:

September 2, 2016- IT’S FIRST FRIDAY!!!!

It’s the End of the 2nd Week of the School semester here at JCCC.  It’s FIRST FRIDAY. Check out local happenings/ Openings here!

This First Friday

The Students have been busy on their first projects. We have some exciting News to share; JCCC’s Sculpture Program has been featured in the local TV news channel, KSHB 41 Action News. Each year the Sculpture students compete in a chance to get funded to make a sculpture project through JCCC’s Sustainability Program. The chosen students then create a piece out of recycled or renewable material that gets displayed on campus. We are so proud of our Sculpture students. The story showcases the latest exhibit:
