Six Churchville-Chili Senior High School ceramic artists will have the opportunity to participate in a new high school residency program through Flower City Arts Center this summer.
Flower City Arts Center is hosting a ceramic studio high school residency for high school students in Monroe County. Through a portfolio review, application, and interview process, eight students in the county were selected to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where they will have full access to the studio and materials all summer, along with a two-hour weekly coaching session with Studio Manager Kyle Lascelle and Teaching Artist Jacob Dambra.
Thirteen schools in Monroe County had students apply for the residency, with 35 students chosen to participate. The six Churchville-Chili student artists who were chosen are:
•Addisyn Klug (9)
•Allie Snyder (9)
•Madison Alley (11)
•Shavonne Callahan (11)
•Morgan Randolph (11)
•Arlo Sushko (11).
During the residency, students will learn all aspects of managing a studio practice, including making clay and glazes, firing work, repairing kilns and safety best practices. They will also participate in demonstrations and critiques to build their understanding of the material and its potential use for personal expression.
