Summer Courses

Ox-Bow has a rich history of connecting artists to new skills, supportive mentors, and inspiring nature. As we embark on another summer season, we are excited for a new group of students to join and engage with us in our courses that bridge craft and concept, merge play and focus, and allow students to explore new techniques in the studio.  

Every summer Ox-Bow provides 1 or 2- week offerings—including our familiar courses in woodfired ceramics, glassblowing, and papermaking—that students come back for year after year. This season, our Summer 2024 Core Course Program offers special focuses with unique opportunities to learn: illustration from cartoonists, expansive fiber-based methods, and studio-based skills rooted in social, event-based practices.

All Core Academic Courses are open to anyone over 18 and are available as for- or non-credit enrollments. Class meets every day during the session, including any weekend, from 9:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. EST. During each session, Ox-Bow hosts an exciting calendar of events after class hours including Visiting Artist lectures, spontaneous workshops, and social gatherings.
