Daily Art Muse Has Left The Building

For the past two months, artist/writer Susan Lomuto of Daily Art Muse has been an apprentice for the Washington Glass School as well as three of the adjacent ceramic studios - Red Dirt Studio, Flux Studios and Ani Kasten Studio.
Susan Lomuto preps the kiln with Matthew Duffy.
Susan did the research apprenticeship as a way to gain insight into the lives of professional artists; hoping to see the how the artwork is made - the process - the success and strife - all from the perspective of the artist involved. Susan has (and will continue to) post some of the information on her blog Daily Art Muse. She also is planning on furthering the project into a book, and she wishes to create a full multi-media presentation (video, sound, photos, exhibitions) on the subject.
Susan photos Robert Kincheloe as he works on the torch.

This week marks the end of Susan's DC apprenticeship - and she has posted about her farewell. Hugs all around - an we look forward to DaMuse's writing and postings!

(While sad to see her go - Susan hopes to return for a residency at Flux Studio this coming fall.)
