Bruce Dehnert Ceramic Scholarship
Scholarship to cover tuition, room & board for a ceramics workshop
This very special scholarship is in honor of the dedication and hard work of Bruce Dehnert, our former Ceramic Studio Department Head. In his more than 22 years at Peters Valley, he guided and lent support to workshops, shared his incredible knowlege of the field and created a wonderful, welcoming enviroment for all. His guidance and mentorship of our workshop participants and notably our studio assistants has shaped careers and changed lives.
This scholarship will provide an opportunity for anyone with an interest in ceramics, who could benefit from the experience that a workhop here offers, as well as the financial assistance to make it possible. This scholarship will cover tuition, lodging and meals for any ceramic workshop (based on availability). The materials fee will be the responsibility of the recipient. To qualify, applicants must be at least 18 years old.
Scholarship recipients will be chosen by a panel of Peters Valley staff. The panel will review the applications and select those that reflect the strongest need and desire to further develop their skills and understanding of ceramic media.
