Teddy Andriese

Anderson Ranch’s Facilitated Studio Practice approach provides artists the opportunity to work on independent projects while receiving regular one-on-one mentoring and critique sessions with Studio Coordinator, Teddy Andriese. Each participant receives an assigned workspace, orientation, and access to equipment, with technical guidance in the Ranch’s state-of-the-art facilities. Demos are provided for participants interested in incorporating metal, wood, or basic mold making techniques into their practice. This program allows local artists the experience enjoyed by national and international artists who travel to Snowmass Village from all over the world. Participants may expand their practices, take artistic risks, try new media, or complete works for exhibition. Participants are encouraged to bring unique materials or found objects to incorporate into their artistic processes. Applicants must submit a concise project proposal to Sculpture Studio Coordinator Teddy Andriese before applying. A limited number of participants will be accepted. To submit or discuss proposals, please contact tandriese@andersonranch.org or call 970.924.5077

This hands-on workshop for teens explores state-of-the-art techniques in skateboard design and construction, giving every participant the opportunity to create their own unique, functional skateboard. We begin with modeling finger boards and miniature skatepark features using 3-D software and 3-D printers. For the final project, students learn essential techniques in mold making, vacuum press bent lamination, laser cutting, and stencil work. Students walk away from the workshop with an introduction to general tools, equipment and software, and with a fully completed skateboard, ready for shredding at the local park.
