Presenter at National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts
I’ll be presenting my process of building work by suturing pieces together to create a whole, in this case through dance using modern and ballet technique from my years as a professional dancer. The convention will draw over 5,000 artists, educators, and gallerists from around the world. Wish me luck haha!
