APF Education Conference

I see clay people.

2024 APF workshops and artist demonstrations are offered in person in our NCC studios. In addition, there will be virtual options available for each pre-festival workshop held on Thursday and Friday. Artist talks will take place in the galleries on Saturday and Sunday at no cost, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

APF artists will offer Thursday and Friday hands-on workshops and a weekend filled with demonstrations, presentations, and conversation in the teaching studios with the invitation to pose questions, learn from a shared or new perspective, and enjoy being in the enchanting realm of palpable creativity. Select APF artists will also visit several local schools for demonstrations and educational enrichment.

Scholarships & Special Pricing

In-person workshops and demonstrations will have limited spots available, so early registration is highly encouraged.

There is special pricing for NCC members, as well as students and educators. In addition, we offer scholarships for BIPOC individuals and those in financial need.
