TuEsDaY!!!!! Lecture

Did I every you that I was going to be named Tuesday????
....anyway this lecture was very interesting the artist that visited us was Marianne Dages. She's a UArts Grad of Photography, but her journey has led her to printmaking/ book making, which I found to be very fascinating because she is now doing something different than what she loves (so I assume) which was photography. Marianne lectured about what it takes to create a studio and the processes that she went through in order to get where she is now. One thing that she mentioned that was intriguing was the residencies that she and her friends all got. she also talked about the Penland School of Craft,  a school that's in North Carolina which seemed awesome for it allowed all of the students to focus only on one art that they would then perfect because they would be isolated and working 24/7 on their project of that subject. I would love to go there.
also her book binding was pretty cool =] and her company name was Huldra Press
