The Brazil Project- Summer 2002

In the summer of 2002, I traveled to Brazil to conduct workshops at the Federal University of Natal, Brazil. My student, Andrew Wolfgram and I had a wonderful time sharing information and our individual approaches to working in clay with enthusiastic students and community members. We visited kilns and craft villages as can be seen in this photo essay.
An important result of the Brazil project was the establishment of an aggreement between Colby-Sawyer College and the Federal University of Natal, Brazil. Our host, ceramic artist Regina Guedes, plans to visit us in the near future.
I am grateful to the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and Colby-Sawyer College for their support of this project.

Other recent projects in Kosei-in, and Kyushu, Japan have provided valuable opportunities to collaborate and learn from many friends and colleagues in the field.
