CraftStudies

“I have never thought of myself as an artist but I love color, plant forms and beautiful things and want to be surrounded by them. As a student in all the studios at CraftStudies over many years, I have gained so much from the process, the learning and doing: the problem solving, here is a flat piece of copper and I want it to look like a tulip or here is a lump of clay and there is a model posed in front of me, or perhaps I want to put tulips on a the figure in front of me or I just want to make a blue bowl. The act of doing is place where I can rest and be in the moment. It can be my moving meditation and has become my community in the best and most difficult of times.“ ~Jere Nelson
