Making Matters: Fresh Perspectives in Fine Craft is an annual exhibition showcasing the work of the season’s visiting artist instructors and summer artistic staff. The variety of media, styles and techniques included reflect the diversity in the programming offered at Peters Valley. This year it features the work of artists who would have taught at Peters Valley had we been able to conduct our summer workshops.

Also check out this Panel Discussion from September comprised of 4 participating artist instructors: Jesse Bert (fine metals), Steve Cook (ceramics), Wendy Weiss (fiber), and Laurie Klein (photography) in conversation with our Studio Managers Bruce Dehnert and Beth Glauber. They discussed the preparation and experience of teaching a workshop at a craft school and the impact of immersive learning.
