With visiting national artist, Stanton Hunter

This workshop is designed to inspire potters and sculptors to move beyond technical skills and tap into their aesthetic sensibilities, unlocking new strategies and possibilities in their creative process. Through hands-on clay projects focused on contemporary 3D design, visual experiments, engaging discussions, and curated image presentations, participants will explore ways to break through creative blocks and deepen their artistic expression. Whether you’re seeking fresh perspectives or looking to take your work to the next level, this workshop will help you approach your art with renewed creativity and purpose.

Stanton Hunter is a ceramic artist/recently retired professor, and exhibits his work nationally and internationally. Writings (both authored by and about him) and images of his work appear in numerous publications. He has been an instructor and guest lecturer at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, ran the ceramics program at Scripps College in Claremont for five years, was a Visiting assistant Professor of Art at Pitzer College also in Claremont, and from 2005 to 2024 was a Professor of Art at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. He studied with Ken Price and Ralph Bacerra. Prior to art, he did his undergraduate work in perceptual psychology/alternative education at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, and pursued a career in music before the visual arts. Stanton’s work incorporates vessels, as well as autonomous sculptural forms, site-specific installations with work in or referring to the landscape.
