Intern Program:
The Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts Intern Program allows emerging artists to utilize Beatrice Wood's library and studio to create work. The Center works with colleges and universities to select participants, who create different series through studying art from diverse cultures and learning new techniques. The sale of these works assists in supporting the Center's educational programming and allows collectors to acquire work by talented artists early in their careers. Each work has a registration number and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the Center with information about the artist.
The following pottery pieces are made by Beatrice Wood:
Kevin Wallace, director of the center, and his partner (whose name I can not remember ;-( reside in a home next to the center. It was near closing time, but she told us to take our time, and then invited us to visit Beatrice Wood's pottery studio. The studio remains very much as it did when Beatrice was making her art. The jars with her glazes are only used by experienced potters. Some of the jars contain chemicals which can be toxic!
The studio is used for educational purposes to teach pottery skills. During our visit, Kevin was checking the kiln for a piece he was cooking.
