At the NCECA talk when I presented this information we had someone ask a question about what to do after school if you can't go onto a residency. There are many options out there that can create a residency-like experience without having to leave your home. One that might be good for you is to form a group that meets once a month. I seem to remember you live in an isolated area so you might want to form this as an online group. The members would post images online and critique them over a chat program or a skype call that everyone could participate in. Other options would be to visit a local museum and report on what you saw. This is not exactly the same as a residency but it could be helpful in generating feedback and camaraderie. Hope your doing well.Ben Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359013637665336903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984289093844316043.post-50114936787884668522012-04-08T05:26:44.361-07:002012-04-08T05:26:44.361-07:00I really appreciate your insights on the learning ...I really appreciate your insights on the learning process as you have observed it. I myself have finished the curriculum based part, and Wish to go on to my graduate path. I agree with you that the ideal approach now would be residencies or apprenticeship, but I don't have those options here. I rely on comments from other potters like you - online - for direction and encouragement. Thanks for this blog entry, it helped.<br />RobertMr. Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696214535601007261noreply@blogger.com
