We are excited to say that starting tonight, we will be participating in the 4th annual East Carolina University Metals Symposium! This is our third time attending and we cannot wait for the festivities to begin. Tonight will begin the symposium with several different show opening as part of the downtown art walk. Tomorrow begins the first day of workshops and lectures led by a great group of artists in the field. The artists on the list include Loring Taoka, Jillian Moore, Christina Miller, James Thurman, Autumn Brown, Jennifer Wells, John Stuart Gordon, Alison Baxter, Kathryn Osgood, Carrie Longley, Rachel Timmins, Gary Schott, Jim Cotter, Dianne Reilly, Joost During, and Keith Lewis. Fibers, ceramics, and wood working are also included in the materials used by these wonderful metalsmiths.
We are extremely lucky that our school hosts an event like this since it allows us to not only expand our skill sets with new materials and new teachers, but also as a way to begin networking within our community. That being said, we have to go prepare our apartment for our guests this weekend but thank you for a taking a minute to read our blog as always!
