Big changes are sometimes slow....
It has been a year since I have been able to move forward with any real sculpting. I have tried to find a feasible way to get my ceramics studio up and running since the move to AZ. There have been many issues that I am not able to overcome at this time. I am determined however to continue to create! This does mean a change in media.

I am moving to an oil based media that I can then create castings from. This will be really beneficial in a few ways. I can create limited editions, make cement outdoor sculptures without the limitations of clay, and even move towards making Bronze castings which is hugely important to me.

I am really excited for this change and all of the opportunity that this opens up for me.

Please stay tuned for more things coming out of the studio as I transition to a new media.

If you are wondering what's going on this is a great place to start. I have started a slightly new adventure in the land of sculpture.

TLDRL: I'm changing from a ceramics studio to a sculpture studio. Stay tuned for sculptures in metal, cement, etc...

It's been too long since I posted. Most of you know I moved from New Mexico to Arizona last year. This consisted of uprooting my studio from a full sized studio to a corner of my garage. It has been a year of blessings in my personal life, but a year of struggle for my art.
Moving into this new year I am instilled with renewed hope. Having been recently forced to take a good look at my long term plans, I tried to live a life without my art. I quickly fell into a state of depression and loss of fulfillment. I just can't stay away!
Because of this need to continue creating, I needed to find a means of creating that meets the confines of my smaller space. I no longer have access to a kiln, which would allow me to continue doing ceramics. However, I have recently found a new place that will allow me to make molds and cast items in any media I choose.
The plan is to change my ceramics studio into a sculpture studio. This will allow me freedom to create at any time in a relatively mess free, climate controlled environment without needing to build a studio space or have the expense of building a kiln house. Both of which are an expense that is beyond my reach right now.
This new format of sculpture would also allow me to create items that would cost less to make and sell.
I am very excited about this new direction and I hope you will stay with me on this journey. If you want to see more and maybe help support this journey visit my Patreon page. https://www.patreon.com/ArtOfChandra
