The Burren, Ireland: The Edge of Visibility (May 8 – Jun 5) at the Burren College of Art in County Clare, on the West Coast of Ireland, provides space for students to respond to the Burren’s distinct environment and history through drawing, photography, writing, and site-responsive projects. Field excursions to archaeological sites, Neolithic tombs, and coastal tidal pools will ground studio practice in the lived textures of place, while readings, discussions, and local collaborations will uncover narratives of displacement, resilience, and cultural identity. 6 credits available.
Living Studio: Relational Making and Collective Practice (Jun 7 – 19) at the Driftless Folk School, Viroqua, Wisconsin, encourages students to immerse themselves in studio practice that is slow, intentional, and community-minded. Participants will be introduced to the geological and cultural history of the Driftless region and its impact on creative and sustainable practice in the region, while having opportunities to work hands-on harvesting and making with locally sourced materials. 3 credits available.
