Cold working

-
A goal coming to work for Remark was to get a sense of a glass business and what is needed to run it. Another goal was to pick up on more cold working skills and to be more confident in it, I cold worked for many hours working on my fellowship doing different things. A favorite skill I became good at was beveling edges of the glass, which made it smooth and clean looking. I would cut over 70 bottles some days on the saw and had to make sure to go slow and be patient which was hard for me at first not having the best patience. Later in my fellowship I was using a level to make sure when grinding a lot of glass of that it would be level.

Megan teaches art classes for young students directly after work on Wednesday, so she takes me with her to where her classes are. Of course, I can’t roam around aimlessly while she works, so I take her car to Dunkin Donuts and sit outside, sipping a black coffee and reading The Sandman, volume 5. I enjoy these little quiet moments where I final

Yo!!!!!! My name is Malik Murray, I am a rising junior photography major. I am more than excited to be working under Uarts Alumni Lou Caltabniano and John Pushnick.

Hope everyone has a great summer and enjoy their time gaining experience in a variety of art forms!!
