ocated on the first floor of Thompson Hall, the Crafts Center offers a variety of arts classes from photography to glass-blowing. The building was previously Thompson Gymnasium, which is still evident in the swimming pool floor of the wood shop. Each semester, the Crafts Center offers a new schedule of classes taught by local professionals. Although most of the classes require a supply fee, students receive discounted prices. Through the Crafts Center, community members and students alike can take a class that lasts two to six weeks or a one or two-day workshop. Some of the workshops are for students only, such as the pinhole camera workshop. Students put together a makeshift camera, take photos and develop them. nn
Crafts Center studio class options: clay studio, wood studio and woodshop, photography studio with a black-and-white darkroom, glass studio, jewelry/metals studio, lapidary studio, fibers studio, art-on-paper. For more information about the Crafts Center, visit www.ncsu.edu/crafts.
