I have been awarded a scholarship to study with Joanna Goldberg at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts this fall!

I will be attending her "trapping found objects" workshop October 9th ~ 15th.

I will be traveling to Europe early September. My updated itenerary will begin with a, "Pencil Rendering designs for Jewelry and Hollowware," workshop with Valentin Yotkov. From the workshop I will make my way to Bulgaria where I will visit two of the centers of ancient Roman Thrace, the modern cities of Plovdiv and Sofia. There I will study the Thracian treasure, remarkable examples of chasing and repoussé, on golden hollowware.

I'm elated to announce that I have been chosen as a recipient for the 2010 Windgate Fellowship Award by the Center for Craft Creativity and Design! It is an amazing honor and opportunity.This fifteen thousand dollar fellowship is awarded to ten graduating seniors, nominated by their faculty, that the foundation believes will make a contribution to the world of craft. I will begin my adventure in Northern Italy at a workshop with master chasing and repoussé artist Valentin Yotkov. There I will study chasing and repoussé while immersing myself in the slow food culture. After a week of intensive study I will make my way to Bulgaria, home of the Thracian treasure, an extraordinary example of chasing and repoussé. The treasure was utilized in ceremonial feasting, this feeds into my desire to raise the status of sustenance from something to be consumed in a car to the level of sacrament. After my adventure I will return to the bay area to set up a studio and begin my career as a metal artist.
