Brown Summer Studies in Pont-Aven 2009

This summer Professor Wendy Edwards taught Painting at Pont-Aven, with the assistance of Hope Hardesty '08 as her TA. The immersion setting and individual attention from faculty at Pont-Aven make this an ideal opportunity for students concentrating in the Arts. The program is an intensive live work environment that is often a bridge to graduate studies. For all its beauty and history as an art community, Pont-Aven is also an ideal place for critical contemporary dialogues to take place. It offers an abundant source of visual information for students to work from. The ocean, Aven River, fields and nearby pre-historic sites are easily accessed, providing rich references for the studio courses.

BILT is a design collaborative founded by four recent graduates of Brown University. Our design background is diverse, each of us having worked in a variety of media, on a range of scales, and with different intentions: industrial design, theatre, architecture, furniture, and sculpture. Working on commission, we respond to the individual needs of clients and consider their input from the drawing board to the finished product. Our work reflects a commitment to formal and conceptual innovation paired with high quality fabrication.
