Another alum adventure! ⭐️

Richard Simpson (26’) went to Pittsburgh for a Summer Intensive Cold Shop course called Break Through! with Chris Ross ( Christopher Ross )

Quotes from Richard:
“I came home with a huge collection of work. One project involved filling a cardboard box with glass, rocks, and poured concrete. Another explored laminating and assembling glass. Another combined glass and stone, and one focused on engraving glass on a lathe before flame polishing the surface to soften the tool marks. Every project pushed me in a different direction.

It’s honestly hard to describe the amount of fun, work, sweat, sore muscles, and smiles-per-mile we packed into one week. Every bit of it was worth it, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

We are so incredibly excited for all the amazing things our alums are doing in the world. If you would like to see Richard’s work, you can see it at the Fredericksburg Center for the Creative Arts (FCCA Fredericksburg ) where you will be able to see and touch 3 of his pieces made at the intensive through the month of August!
