The Kroll Ceramics Art School’s Open House on September 7, 2024, was a successful and engaging event, welcoming visitors into its state-of-the-art studio located at the Hammond Museum in North Salem, New York. The event offered a chance for prospective students to explore the new facilities, meet experienced instructors, and learn about the upcoming ceramics programs, which include wheel-throwing classes set to begin on September 16. The atmosphere was lively, with refreshments, champagne, and live music providing a festive backdrop to the open studio tours. The school itself is a major addition to the museum, offering courses suitable for artists of all skill levels, from beginners to professionals. Visitors were introduced to the high-quality equipment, including 10 throwing wheels and kilns, and had the opportunity to interact with ceramic experts. The program emphasizes a hands-on approach, allowing students to explore ceramic arts in a supportive environment.
This open house marked the beginning of an exciting era for both the museum and local artists, promising enriching opportunities for creative expression and skill development.
