Blazing (MFA) Studios!

Two MFA in Applied Craft and Design candidates embark on their first challenge: designing and building their own studio spaces with Steve Badanes.
The 2009-10 academic year marks the launch of the MFA in Applied Craft and Design, a new program offered jointly by PNCA and Oregon College of Art and Craft. Follow two MFA candidates as they embark on their first challenge: designing and building their own studio spaces — with the support of internationally recognized design-build expert Steve Badanes. Students Rachel Cox, a former education administrator and ceramist from San Francisco, and Silke Vermehren, a multimedia artist and designer from Venezuela, give us their literary and photographic play-by-play of this groundbreaking project.
