Residency at BCAT

On September 7th I moved into my new home at the Brockway Center for Arts and Technoligy (BCAT) in Brockway, PA. The facility's goal is to educate the youth in the surrounding areas through the arts. More info can be found here.

The facility is about 2 hours north east of Pittsburgh in a quaint little town. I've had the pleasure of meeting a lot of great people so far through the work we do and I can only imagine it will keep getting better. For the first week we (my boss, and my fellow resident) have been going to all the local high schools and presenting what BCAT has to offer. We have also been working on getting the studio ready for the kids to start their after school program, as well as the adult students. In the next week or two.

I'm my downtime I've been plugging away in the studio getting back in the swing of things. I feel like I've been away from clay for a long time and it good to be back. I've also been venturing out in the town and surrounding areas to explore the new surroundings.

First thing as you walk into our studio.

Nice slab roller and wedging tables in the middle.

Work tables for various workings.

The wonderfully stocked materials room.

Bisque and glazing room.

The whole gallery space. I'll be attempting to fill this within the next year. Wish me luck!! Hahaha
