In November I’m packing my bags for Denmark to participate in the Project Network Symposium at the International Ceramic Research Center in Skaelskor. The symposium gathers together 12 recently graduated undergraduates from all over the world to make connections and ceramic work for six weeks! I will be representing not only the Kansas City Art Institute, but also undergraduate ceramics from the United States. Many thanks to Cary Esser and the faculty at Guldagergaard for selecting me for this amazing opportunity! Below is a link to their website:

And thanks to a recently established partnership between the Charlotte Street Foundation and Red Star Studios, I will be able to continue to fire my work at an affordable cost in a convenient location. Below is an image of my studio space. It’s finally starting to feel like home…
