Education

Ceramic Classes at NCC
NCC is thrilled to welcome both new and returning students back into our studios this winter, and to kick 2024 off with a bang! This year, instead of a typical New Year’s resolution, why not develop your own artistic and ceramic skills with one of our fabulous instructors? Whether you’re interested in wheel throwing, handbuilding, sculpture, working solo or with family, our roster of classes and workshops will be sure to pique your interest.
Adult Education BIPOC
& Financial Access Scholarships
NCC is committed to maintaining accountability and pursuing action to build meaningful diversity, impactful equity, and genuine inclusivity in the ceramic community. We recognize that there are significant systemic racial and economic impacts that impede participation in the arts, and resulting financial barriers contribute to further divide. To address and help bridge barriers to ceramic education, NCC has implemented scholarship options for our education programming. Our goal is to open access to the ceramic arts and welcome all who wish to learn, grow as an artist, and participate in the ceramic arts community.
We offer two scholarship options: A half-tuition scholarship, open to artists and learners with financial need, and a full-tuition scholarship, open to artists and learners who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color.
Scholarships are limited and will be available on a first come first served basis to adult students only. Students are eligible to receive only one scholarship per session. We will do our best to offer you one of your top three choices of class or workshop. Once enrolled, all scholarships are non-refundable and non-transferable. Scholarship students are committed to their selected class, and the scholarship cannot be applied to a different class or term. Should a selected class cancel due to low enrollment, students will have the option to transfer classes. Previous recipients can apply multiple times per year, though priority will be given to new applicants.
You will be notified of the status of your application within 7 – 10 days of application. A member of NCC staff will reach out to aid you in registration if you receive a scholarship.
