Teen Welding Class for the Pratt Fine Art Center, Seattle, WA

Taught by Vance Wolfe, these guys get the chance to build whatever they want. The projects here consisted of a go kart frame and a catapult. A little ambitious, but what do you expect from a couple of high schoolers. I could only get in there for an hour or so on the last day of class...here are a couple of frames I like.

Nicholas Jones, Book Sculptor for the Pratt Fine Art Center, Seattle, WA

More from Nicholas Jones at his Master Class at the Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle. This was Jones' first trip over to teach in the states; his studio and showings are in Melbourne, Australia. It was really interesting to observe his class and the listen in on the lecture as his pieces almost demand a kind of justification for essentially destroying books to turn them into art. It is quite a phenomenon. He says in addition to looking for interesting looking books, he looks for a strong binding to ensure the piece can survive its transformation. His work can be viewed at bibliopath.org.
