Hey yall! I was just looking for some input. SCC has a good two year program for the glass arts. Has anyone gone there? Other then knowing how to work glass, is there other jobs i can get with this program? http://www.salemcc.edu/publications/Glass_Art.pdf
I was also considering getting an apartment around Brooklyn. It's close to Urban Glass and Tecnolux.
Do you think i should take classes and get involved before i dedicate 2 years?
Just trying to get a view point from the outside. I love glass. In all forms from sea glass to the glass used by NASA. Is a formal education really needed? Or is daily dedication, and taking workshops more in order.
I used to always think school is not for me, i am a wild man. But over the past few years i been realising, maybe it does have qualities, i at one time didn't see.
I know New York has stuff going on and lots of artists, well so does Philly..... So does the NW. There are tones of options to getting into the "scene".
Dedication to learning is whats needed. But right now since i am layed up with a broken arm. I am really starting to think more into where is it i wanna go with this.
All i know is that i wanna dedicate myself fully to learning as much as possible.
Do i work a day job, take classes when ever time allows and just work an hour or two in the evening or on the weekend? Do i dedicate two years to a college? Do i stay out in the sticks far away from a lot of the artists? It seems like there is no culture other then White Bread or Ghetto. There are artists or creative individuals, but most of them seem to be inactive and not motivated.
Do you hear what I'm saying? Care to enlighten this some what cunfused individual? See any pros and cons to this? Any recomendations?
right now i am just reading my books, and developing my goals. I wanna learn as much as possible. Get moving and make all that i can. I realise there is no easy way to get there, no quick fix. Just dedication and motivation.
