I'm at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. A big thanks goes to the Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) for bestowing a two week scholarship. This place is incredibly unique both geographically and culturally. The flights were long, six hours or more, I lost track. Asheville is where I landed then a driver took me the rest of the way.
Unique is all I say for this place right now. The people are too friendly, the food is too good and there are no locks on the doors! Everyone is avid about the course they will take and art plays and important part of their lives.
A strange environment with even odder attitudes.
Orientation is about to start now. We'll see what will happen...

A new blog.
Scrape and burnish refers to techniques in intaglio. You scrape to add texture, delete mistakes or passages. Burnishing involves applying significant pressure with a polished tool to lighten areas on a plate or smooth the surface so it will print clean. Techniques that are usually employed to correct although hey can be utilized to impart imagery. This theme guides my writings as I look to scrape away at what I see to find meaning or add polish o a concept I find interesting.
