Pilchuck, summer 2023

Thanks to the Pilchuck Auction Scholarship I was awarded in September 2022, I had the chance to participate in the workshop hold by the amazing Kait Rhoads and Rachel Moore!

It's been a great couple of weeks with the best classmates. We played a lot with inspiration from nature, various techniques and pulled quite a few murinis.

Through my experiments I developed a whole new way to create sculptural works. I hope to produce a new body of works using this technique during 2024. 

​So stay tuned ;)
