I'd like to have this blog be open to anyone interested in jewelry making, glass fusing, design, the arts, Nature, etc. The first thing I'd like to talk about a bit is exploring how people's design styles came about. In other words, what do you think are your most important influences? What were your most memorable experiences that affected how you do art? Was it a favorite teacher, a course in school, a program outside of school, or something totally different? Did it involve visits to museums, viewing architecture, listening to music, walking in gardens or the mountains...or ???? What do you feel were your most valuable learning or training experiences--the main things that enable you to do what you do best? And lastly, how, when and where did you split off from the pack and start developing your own unique style, your own individual vision?
I think that everybody's story is different, and instructive, and valuable. By sharing those stories, we get to see the distance covered and obstacles overcome by different people on their artistic journeys, and perhaps see that our path is not so different, after all.
