West Kentucky Community and Technical College

In August 2008, a collaborative effort between West KentuckyCommunity and Technical College, the City of Paducah, and other regional interests created Paducah School of Art and Design (PSAD) to serve the region and anchor Paducah’s Lower Town Arts District through the creation of a world-class art school.

Having quickly outgrown its initial rented facilities downtown, Paducah School of Art and Design has since completed a comprehensivecampus totaling 46,200 square feet, including the Ceramics and Small Metals Building and Sculpture Building on Madison Street, and most recently the 2D and Graphic Design Building on Harrison Street in historic Lower Town. All of the school’s studios are equipped withstate-of-the-art equipment and resources supporting its programs in art, design and multimedia.

In keeping with Paducah’s emergence as a cultural destination, and with an eye toward national recognition for its programs, PSAD launched its first Master Artist Workshops program in Summer 2014. Theseworkshops continue to feature nationally acclaimed artists andeducators serving both regional audiences and students from across the country. The Summer 2017 workshop program has expanded beyond ceramics and metalsmithing to include painting, Joomchipapermaking, and Shibori weaving as well. This year’s programalso includes the opportunity for studio and culinary artists alike to build their own 3D printers capable of creating computer generated forms in clay and edible materials.

At Paducah School of Art and Design, a diverse mix of traditional and non-traditional students and studio artists from the community work side by side, sharing insights, experience and ideas to the mutual benefit of all. The Master Artists Workshop program and an expanding list of community education and youth programs continue to broaden our scope and make our resources available to additional audiences. Whether working toward an Associate in Fine Arts degree in visual art, an Associate in Applied Science degree in Multimedia, or simply seeking to expand your horizons, Paducah School of Art and Design is here to help make your vision a reality.

Paducah School of Art and Design is a division of West KentuckyCommunity and Technical College, a regionally accredited collegerecognized by The Aspen Institute as one of the top ten communitycolleges in the nation four consecutive times, and on two occasions, a Finalist With Distinction.

Through demonstration, studio time, and individual attention, the focus of thisworkshop is to provide the “tools” andtechniques for students to realize theirindividual creative process in order to take their art to the next level. Tim will covercolor theory in the simplest of terms tounderstand values, review a variety ofapproaches to underpainting and glazing techniques, and pursue a loose application of paint through the use of brushes and mixed media. Everyone learns differently and Tim works with each student to help them todefine their own style. Because many painters seek ways of “loosening up” we will explorenumerous techniques to move beyond our comfort zones. Students will acquire new knowledge of products and techniques along with new found confidence in their painting practice. Acrylic and oil painters welcome. No experience necessary.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will convert images into silk-screens and use screen printing techniques to print on any flat surface. Participants will have an opportunity to print directly onto clay, glass or enamel and will receive a screen and squeegee for later use to create their own decals. Decals may be applied and fired onto ceramics, as well as enameled metal and glass, or to any smooth surface as a non-fired decorativeelement. Discussion and demonstrationincludes multi-color printing and colorseparation. The course is designed to be “low-tech”, allowing participants to continueprinting at home or studio. These same techniques apply to multiple other applications. Ceramic experience is not required.

Traditional Shibori allows the artist to weave a controlled resist into a fabric prior to dyeing.Rows of running stitches are sewn into the woven fabric, then pulled tight and the fabricdyed. The folds in the cloth resist dye and the pattern is revealed upon removing the stiches and opening the cloth. With Woven Shibori, the fabric is woven on the loom and an additional pattern weft is woven into the cloth. Like the running stitches of Shibori, these pattern wefts are pulled tight and the folds in the cloth serve to resist dye and yield the resulting patterns. Students will learn to measure yard usage, read a weaving draft, and how to prepare a loom, along with immersion dyeing techniques.

DIY Ceramic and Culinary 3D Printers

This workshop explores the construction and use of an extrusion-based ceramic or culinary3d printer that can be integrated into existing studio practices. Each participant will beginby building their own DIY 3d printer from parts and an open-source knowledge base. We will then develop digital design strategiesthat allow us to return to working directly with clay, combining 3d printed parts with thrown, hand built, and/or cast additions. Eachparticipant will take home their own printer, providing the opportunity to integrate digital technologies into their studio practice and curricula. Printer cost and clay fee is $575 in addition to tuition. The printer build size is approximately 20” in diameter and 40” tall.
