Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the Curious Artist (ages 24-64) will experience an increase in skills, techniques and knowledge in creating individual expressions of art in glass fusing, glass slumping, pottery and mosaic mediums. Introductory/Skill building classes in glass fusing and glass slumping offer a new artistic arena, creating excitement and learning opportunities that previously did not exist in our area. Studio mentorship for Pottery and Mosaics provides continuing artist support. Evaluation methods include surveys, administered after class completion, to measure skills acquired, knowledge learned, and if they enjoyed the creative journey of our Curious Artist, (ages 24-64). Our evaluation survey also provides space to share additional input from the indiviaul class participant that may provide insight, additional areas of interest, or ways we may improve the experience for others.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, curious artists experienced a new opportunity to learn skills in a new artistic media that had not been offered before, They learned basic introduction and intermediate skills, while building community with other students whil
