Join us for the first in our 5-part workshop series of creative art & design workshops taught by OCAD U students... who are paid for their work and time :D. 

Principles of Clay Workshop with Jade Reyes:
Using three methods of forming clay pieces, such as pinching, coiling, and slapbuilding, students will learn how to make basic clay shapes and experience the plasticity, shrinkage, and the texture of clay. Students should wear old clothes that they don’t care might get dirty. All materials will be provided. 

Workshops are open to current students at OCAD U.

This workshop series is presented in partnership by the OCAD U Library's Learning Zone and the Writing & Learning Centre and supported by funding from the First Generation Program, administered by the WLC.

First-generation reflections

For the fifth year, OCAD University’s First-Generation Program has assembled an exhibition of work by students who are the first in their families to attend a post-secondary institution.

This year’s exhibition (and accompanying publication) is called Reflection. The show presents art, design and writing by 28 first-generation students from various programs at OCAD U. Some contributors reflected on political issues, such as the environment, racism and LGBTQ concerns. Others reflected on memories and personal narratives. And some explored the theme formally with self-portraits and reflections in nature.

Reflection is an initiative of OCAD U's Writing & Learning Centre. The exhibition was curated by students involved in the exhibition, led by Claire Bartleman, program assistant, First-Year Student Initiatives. Jasmin Liu, an Industrial Design student, designed the accompanying publication.

Exhibition: March 10 to 17 at the OCAD University Student Gallery (52 McCaul St.).

Public launch: Friday, March 11, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
