Award Winners of the 85th Annual National Juried Art Exhibit

Award Winners from the Cooperstown Art Association's
85th Annual National Juried Art Exhibition!
Follow the Link to See Their Work in the National!
The Exhibition will be Online through August 14th!
As we were unable to hold our usual Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony this year, we would like to take a moment to celebrate the Award Winners from the 2020 National Juried Art Exhibition!

Twenty awards were given out this year, with the Grand Prize being awarded to Doug Whitfield, of Clayville, NY, for his painting "Triple Goddess."
 
Speaking of his work, Doug has the following statement to share: "Today, awards and honors are not the reason I paint and no measure of my work's value. The real significance of my work is the utter joy and emotion it brings to my patrons..."

REMINDER!!! The Smithy Clay Studio Returns with Adjusted Programming!

REMINDER!
*New: No limit on rental session sign ups!
Welcome Back to The Smithy Clay Studio!
We are pleased to announce the long awaited reopening of the studio. After a long hiatus, we will be offering some adjusted programming and studio access, which we hope will give people a much needed creative outlet.

We are tentatively scheduled to reopen on Monday, July 13th, providing NY State's phased reopening stays on track. While we are hoping to return to a relatively normal schedule in the future, we will be operating with reduced numbers and programming to protect both studio members and the staff from the ever present Covid-19 virus.

There will be updated studio protocol that everyone will be required to follow while using the studio. These include mask use, temperature checks conducted by staff, signing in for tracing purposes, adhering to social distancing, and several other new rules that will be set out in more detail very soon.

Our hope is that everyone can respect the new studio structure and protocol so that we can all get back to making some great clay work!
Studio Space Rentals
$25/session, clay not included

Sessions will be two hours in length and run three times a day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. There will be three slots available for each session so we can keep everyone properly distanced within the space. This will be very similar to open studio with no instruction provided and a limit of three people per time slot. We ask that you bring as many of your own tools as possible. Prior clay studio experience is required and 18+ only please.

Time slots will be: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9-11am, 11:30-1:30pm, 2-4pm
We will use the half hour in between sessions to clean and disinfect the space for the next group.

Going forward, a list of available time slots will be available on The Smithy's website and will be kept as up-to-date as possible!

Sign-ups will be taken via email only, to gallery@smithyarts.org, and will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. 

**
We are no longer having a limit on the sessions you may sign up for in a week. We do ask that you make sure to show up for sessions you reserve and give us notice if you can no longer attend.
Private Studio Lessons
 $150 for 3hrs, $50 per additional person, clay not included

Private studio lessons will consist of one-on-one instruction with one of The Smithy's instructors, with the option to have up to 3 people in the lesson. These lessons will be available on Tuesday and Thursday, and will be scheduled upon request.

We ask that when scheduling the lesson, you provide us with an idea of what you would like to accomplish in the timeframe so that we can match you with an appropriate instructor.

To inquire about a private lesson, email Adam at gallery@smithyarts.org.
Kiln Rentals

We will be offering whole kiln rentals for people who do not wish to work within the studio. The costs associated with these firings include, electricity, wear and tear on the equipment, and labor for loading the kilns.

If you wish to use clay not purchased at the studio or glaze not from the studio, both must be approved by the studio manager prior to firing. We ask that you bring receipts or recipes for review and approval.

We reserve the right to deny firing if we deem it a risk to the equipment.

Firing Fees:

Small Kiln
Bisque Firing Cone 05: $35
Glaze Firing Cone 6: $45

Large Kiln:
Bisque Firing Cone 05: $45
Glaze Firing Cone 6: $55
Remember, all sign-ups and inquiries will be taken by Clay Studio Manager,
Adam Jennett, through the studio email, gallery@smithyarts.org.

We look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
