This conference features a series of hands-on workshops instructed by some of New Mexico’s finest artists and art educators. College credit is included by MCC.

CLASS INFORMATION

MCC is home to the state’s largest, nationally recognized, teaching foundry. Summer Summit is hosted by our own NMAEA secretary and MCC instructor, Djean Jawrunner. Djean also hosts a Spring Iron Pour Workshop held every March for teachers, professors, national artists, curators, and professional sculptors. Last year almost 5000 pounds of iron were cast in one day.

Summer Summit attendees will sand cast resin bonded subtractive relief tiles, explore various printmaking opportunities, and investigate various new vendor products.
