This Intensive 16 hour 2 day workshop will teach many techniques including sawing, filing, polishing, soldering, bezel setting, textures, and more! $499 plus a $55 materials fee (paid separate at class)
Students will also have access to 4 Open Studio sessions through the following 4 weeks to practice their skills. A knowledgable instructor is present during these sessions for questions and safety. Wednesdays 10-4pm (These are only valid the 4 weeks following the class and do not carry over)
Please know this will be a substantial amount of information over the two days and the intensity may not be ideal for everyone. Some jewelry making knowledge may be beneficial, but is not required. The course is designed to teach the skills through a series of jewelry pieces.
It is designed to teach techniques and skills rather than completing actual aesthetically pleasing pieces, but the goal is that everyone can complete 2-3 pieces of finished jewelry or more. Attending some or all Open Studios will absolutely ensure this and likely many more pieces!

June 3, 2017: A 25-year-old former Air Force linguist named Reality Winner is surprised at her home by the FBI, interrogated, and then charged with leaking classified information to media sources. Reality was given a record breaking sentence and was released from prison to a half-way house on June 2, 2021 for good behavior.
The FBI transcript of her interrogation is the heart of Is This a Room, conceived as a play and directed by Obie Award-winner Tina Satter, in which an extraordinary human drama unfolds between the complex and witty Reality, and the agents who question her. As Reality’s autonomy shrinks before her eyes, a simmering real-life thriller emerges, asking what it is to have honor in this American moment, and how the personal can reverberate globally.

PERFORMANCE: Living Female Respondent or 53 Yakshi
2025-11-08 19:00 - 20:00 | Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, 120 College Street, Asheville, North Carolina, 28801
Living Female Respondent or 53 Yakshi
A Performance by Jennie MaryTai Liu
Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 7PM
Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}
TICKETS – $15 General Admission / $10 for BMCM+AC members + Students w/ID
Jennie MaryTai Liu’s Living Female Respondent or 53 Yakshi, a dance performance created with devika wickremesinghe and Hannah Heller, draws from Merce Cunningham’s use of chance operations in his 1976 work Torse. Using the I Ching, Liu and wickremesinghe selected 64 short video clips from across the internet to build a movement vocabulary. The resulting performance explores how digital media, randomness, and embodied movement intersect. First presented at LACMA in 2019, this work both honors and critically engages with the legacy of postmodern dance.
More About the Performance:
A reference to a reference in a Hollis Frampton text sampled in Maryanne Amacher’s composition Remainder which accompanied Merce Cunningham’s 1976 dance Torse, Living Female Respondent is a dance which exhaustively appropriates Cage and Cunningham’s compositional use of chance. Originally commissioned to accompany the exhibition Merce Cunningham, Clouds and Screens, at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) in February 2019, the dance took place in the Korean Art Gallery amidst 17th–19th century Korean ceramics and screen paintings, highlighting the primacy of Asian thinking and aesthetic values in the production of the western avant-garde. Along with performers Hannah Heller and devika wickremesinghe, choreographer Jennie MaryTai Liu playfully consulted contemporary feminist oracles and the Chinese divination text I ching to determine all structural elements of a bank of movement created from a ‘gamut’ of random YouTube videos, manifesting in a theatrical display of indeterminacy.
With live music by Andrew Gilbert and costumes by Wendy Yang, the version to be presented at Black Mountain College Museum and Arts Center re-wrangles the choreographic material for a different moment and place, a continuance of a response to impure, incidental inheritance.
Living Female Respondent was originally commissioned with additional funding from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.

A Lecture Demonstration Series for the Curious, the New, and the Devotee
Sun, Nov 9 • 3 pm | 60 minutes
Swing is more than a rhythm—it’s a manifesto. From the lean precision of Count Basie to the buoyant lift of Fletcher Henderson, the world-weary elegance of Billie Holiday to the dazzling joy of Ella Fitzgerald, swing pulses with momentum and style. Not just a byword of the Big Band era, swing is how jazz moves—on time and on purpose.
Jazz Is for Everyone is a series of five one-hour sessions exploring jazz music. Come to one or join them all—each session stands on its own and welcomes listeners at any level.
What You’ll Experience:
Guided listening
Live music demonstrations
Stories that connect the music to people, places, and intent
A space for questions, curiosity, and shared discovery
Jeremy Walker launched Jazz Is for Everyone in 2004 at his Brilliant Corners Jazz Club, with Wynton Marsalis serving as Artistic Advisor. The program was developed as an Educational Affiliate with Jazz at Lincoln Center. Since then, Walker’s been writing, composing, performing, producing, and speaking about why this music still matters.
