Art Facilities & Equipment

The spacious, light-filled Stevens Art Studios feature cathedral ceilings in all the studios, as well as huge expanses of glass, which provide bright natural light. The studios also expand into two weather-protected outdoor work and meeting spaces, to increase studio work areas and benefit from natural air circulation.

  • The ceramics and sculpture area features capabilities for firing with electric, gas, and raku techniques, with separate rooms for glazing, clay mixing, and woodworking.
  • The photography area offers both traditional and digital photography. The fully equipped 600sq ft lighting studio allows for video and still photography with a broad range of state-of-the-art lighting equipment. The darkroom is outfitted for both film and alternative processes while the Mac Lab offers large format digital printing.
  • Students working in the drawing, painting, and ceramics studios benefit from the open space and natural light. There are also individual student workspaces available to juniors and seniors.
