ARTSHACK BROOKLYN - CERAMICS
During the past few months I have been obsessed with learning how to do ceramics and I took a 6 weeks workshop at Artshack Brooklyn in Bedstuy.
I naively came with all these ideas in mind and inspiration images, without a second thought It would be so hard to realize ...
The class was supposed to be a mix of wheel and hanbuilding learning, but we only focused on the wheel basically.
The bonus is that in the workshops there is a free access to open studio time where it is possible to come for unlimited time and use the products and tools of the studio. There is also a possibility to take a monthly subscription to come to practice with his own equipment.
I regret i didn't come in between classes more often, the practice being essential to master the wheel well. I am far from the expected results but I managed to create a few things!
I wish I could take some more classes so i could improve myself.
Feel free to go to their studio to have a look or ask for more info.
Artshack is located at 1131 Bedford Ave.

AGNES MARTIN - GUGGENHEIM
Guggenheim museum is now hosting minimalist artist Agnes Martin.
I didn’t know her work well, and could only remember her grid and stripes work.
I totally loved the exhibition and her attention to minimalist through her repetitive work of stripes and grid, playing with textures, lines and shapes.
The exhibition shows her work through different years and you can see how her art evolved. I enjoyed looking at the blank paintings and more geometrical ones.
I really encourage to see her work in person to admire in person all the little details my pictures wouldn’t show.
Definitely got inspired by the tonal tones and palettes for my own projects.
Until January 11, 2017.
