Being an artist or art educator can be a lonely endeavor in that you don't typically go to a building filled with other artists and art educators every day. You rarely get to work side by side. You don't get to ask a peer standing right next to you their opinion on your next color choice as you consider your next move. So when you have an opportunity as I did, to spend 14 hours a day for 6 days straight, working with 16 other like-minded souls making art together you know it is going to be - for lack of a better word - awesome. And it was.
I will share more with you about my personal art and how I hope to develop what I have learned from this printmaking class by Charlie Cummings in my studio practice in the next post. But for now, I just wanted to share with you how inspiring it can be for artists to have opportunities to work side by side. I hope I will remember this and always seek workshops and studio spaces that will enable me to connect and share processes with other artists.
