Concrete Carving Workshop Schedule 2024

The workshop season for 2025 was a big turnaround from the previous year. The two Spring workshops in Florida were great. My return to the Art and Design Society in Fort Walton Beach was, as usual, casual and fun with new and familiar students. Then east to Lighthouse Art Center in Tequesta, FL for the first time. A small but enthusiastic group at a well run and functional facility.

Then in late June a trip west to Sedona Art Center, Arizona–Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson and Camp V in Vancorum, CO. The workshops were all full and I am delighted to be invited back. In late October there was an attempt to return to Lighthouse and also do the Society of American Mosaic Artists' Summit in Orlando, but enrollment was low and both had to be canceled.

For 2026 I am returning to some locations from last year and adding new places as well. This will be a busy year. As the schedule began to take shape it became evident that there would be two separate workshop circuits.

The Workshop Procedure page gives details of the workshop. The Concrete Carving Workshop Gallery has group photos of previous workshops and this link shows all past workshop locations.

May 8 – 10, Tucson, AZ – Arizona – Sonora Desert Museum I am excited about teaching at ASDM. My mentor, the late Jack Hastings, has some pieces he made in the 1970's in the gardens so I feel a connection to the place through his work. The link will take you to the workshop sign up page. What I offer is a little different from the wide variety of wonderful activities they provide. I hope it is received well. May 18 – 20, Sedona, AZ – Sedona Arts Center I will be teaching at this fine art center for the second time. Last year there was a full workshop and the facility is excellent for that purpose. May 29 – 31 Biloxi, MS – Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art As I was headed west in 2024 I decided to drop down off of Interstate 10 and drive along the coast. As I drove down Hwy 90 in Biloxi the unique architecture of Frank Gehry grabbed my attention. I stopped in and shortly the wheels for a workshop were set in motion. For more info on the workshop go here. June 5 – 7, Huntsville, AL – Huntsville Museum of Art Such a fine institution. I am honored to be included among their few offerings. Workshop details are here. June 14 – 20 – Sewannee, TN – Shakerag When I was a member of the Tennessee Association of Craft Artist I learned about Shakerag. Now, many years later I am delighted to be invited to teach in this week long workshop. It will likely be a double workshop. Workshop details are here. Also, it is on the Cumberland Plateau which is the place of my ancestry. July 28 – 30 – Highlands, NC – The Bascom. It has been ten years since I have had a workshop at this fine Art Center. I cherish being able to travel, teach, visit and camp in the natural wonders of this nation. But for too long I have neglected to connect with this wonderful location only fifteen miles from my home. It is nice to be back.
My second trip west is still developing for August. I hope to have a couple of additional locations by early in the year.
Undetermined date in August – Vancorum, CO – Camp V Depending on how any other locations come together I will be returning to Camp V. September 9 – 12, Telluride, CO – Ah Haa School for the Arts. In 2025 I was in contact with the educator at this preeminent art center but scheduling prevented me from making a second trip west for a single workshop. After the Camp V workshop this past July I visited Ah Haa, saw the space and met some clay students. It is really nice to be invited to teach here. – –
