A little bird told me...
that some of you fantastic students of SilverWorks may be feeling a little hesitant about applying to use the new studio.
Hmmm...
First off, I would like to let you know that the reason Studio 2 was brought into being is because you have gotten so good that I thought you deserved a bigger playground.
As human nature would have it, we tend to be a little insecure about our own accomplishments. And if you know anything about my studio and what it represents, you know I am not about competition, and more about having a good time doing this craft we all love.
Secondly, the application is meant to encourage you to take a close look at how far you have come in a short period of time. The application is meant to be validating not threatening. The main reason for the "screening" process is to see that you know how to properly use the variety of tools in the studio. It also helps us select the next artist to solo show in the SilverWorks Gallery.
If bringing in your work is an issue...send me a picture! Attach it to an email with your application. Three pieces of your most varied work is all you need.
It is always a little awkward cooking in someone else's kitchen. So we are finally hosting a "Love The Tools" party to orient you to all the goodies Studio2 has to offer so that you will be completely comfortable in the new playground.
So don't be bashful about your work. My greatest desire is for you to let both SilverWorks 1 and 2 be places that help you on your creative journey.
