Theuniqueness of the visual arts major with a studio art concentration at Chatham University is its interdisciplinary nature. Students are given the tools to create technically proficient work, but are also challenged to incorporate alternative means of expression, to think critically about the images that they produce, to consider the context in which these images will be interpreted, and to contemplate the role that the artist should play in contemporary society.
This studio course provides students with an introduction to ceramic processes and materials. Instruction in beginning wheel-throwing methods augments competency in basic construction and surface application techniques. Projects focus on development of form and surface in ceramics, as well as exposure to historical and contemporary issues specific to the medium.
Students continue to develop their understanding of three-dimensional materials and processes, their history and practice, and associated conceptual vocabularies in this studio. The course aims to challenge students with ceramic and/or sculptural skills in order to move beyond technique and to reconsider material and process from a variety of perspectives. Studio and research assignments will examine technical and conceptual concerns, prompting students to articulate and contextualize their artistic practice.
Rotating on a yearly basis, special topics courses are offered by the department exploring a variety of disciplines, topics, and skillsets. Topics have included low-fire ceramics; encaustic painting techniques, assemblage and collage; and installation and performance.
The museum studies minor provides students with the skills, experience, and professional knowledge necessary to work in the museum field. The minor balances history and theory with practical experience designing and installing exhibitions and preparing educational programming. Students interact with museum and gallery professionals through frequent field trips to local and regional museums.

My passion for art came at an early age. I love to explore the many ways to create art be it by painting in different mediums or building and creating with clay. This year for the studio tour I will be displaying a variety of works of art. I will be showcasing my hand built pottery and sculptures. I love to make whimsical figures such as funny face pots and mugs to small animal sculptures. I have recently discovered Jizo statues. They are a beloved deity in Japan and have a sweet smile and calming presence. Currently I teach hand building pottery classes at Desert Sun Ceramics. My work is displayed at both Gallery Moab and Moab Made.
I had a high school student like that once, which made me super happy to know that he did not let that stigma about boys in dance keep him from letting dance help him with his other sport. He played football, and he came in and took some classes with us, and it definitely helped him with his balance and coordination on the football field. That was pretty cool.
Being a business owner has had its ups and downs for me, especially right now. When I first started the studio, it was difficult just trying to find a spot that was affordable and had the right amount of space that we needed.
Ebony developed a love of dance at a very early age after training throughout her childhood in ballet, tap, jazz, and pointe. Ebony attended UNC-Chapel Hill and received her B.A. degree in Afro-American Studies. While at UNC-Chapel Hill, Ebony was part of the High Kickin' Heels Dance Team, as well as the OPEYO! dancers. She served as choreographer for the semi-professional Durham Storm Cheerleaders in the late 1990s. Ebony also worked as an acrobatics and dance instructor in the triangle and triad area with Tap and Tumble.
In 1998, Ebony joined the teaching staff at Brittany's Dance Studio in Chapel Hill. She continued to teach with Brittany's and eventually served as assistant director until the studio closed its doors and relocated in 2005. Ebony also served as assistant director and master class instructor with The Dancer's Spotlight for several years.
In the fall of 2008, Ebony decided to start her own dance company, and this is where Chatham Dance Connection began. She started the program with about 25 students in a local after-school program and has seen the programs grow through the years. The studio is now housed in a cozy family-oriented studio in the heart of Pittsboro. Her love of children and dedication to quality dance education continues to be the heart of our dance program.
