As many of you know I was selected to be a resident artist at the Kohler Factory in Wisconsin earlier this year.  The program is called Arts/Industry and I was selected to work in the factory in my own studio space in the factory along side hard working people casting ceramic sinks,toilets, urinals and hospital ware.  I have full access to the factory and all of the facilities, supplies, and expertise available at the factory.  My residency began a little over a week ago.  I have been making plaster molds of some carvings to create a body of carved work in ceramics.  Here’s some images from my trip and my first week here which has been really an amazing experience so far.

 

Eight months ago I applied and was accepted into the John Michael Kohler Arts/industry program at the Kohler factrory near Sheboygan WI.  In the program artists get to create a body of work in the factory using the same space and equipment as the workers use to make Kohler products.  I will be working in the Pottery casting some carvings in ceramic and then carving some of the work as it comes out of hue molds. Very exciting! Here’s a link to information about the John Michael Kohler Artist in Residence Program.
