My professors, Linda Arbuckle, Nan Smith, and Anna Calluori Holcombe, at the University of Florida have each donated a work of art to help raise funds to pay for my trip to china. Donating works and organizing the raffle was an amazing gesture and I feel very honored and grateful that they would do this for me. The department met at the Bistro in Gainesville for an end of the year lunch for everyone that was leaving town and I pulled the raffle tickets.
Winner of the Anna Calluori piece: TJ Erdahl Winner of the Nan Smith porcelain teabowl: Kathleen Gunning Winner of the Linda Arbuckle bowl: Barbara Brown.
Thank you to everyone who participated, it has really made a difference.
"Chang Bizi" is a humorous Chinese terms used for western foreigners. It literally means "long nose". This blog will act as a place to collect images and experiences of my long nosed journey. While in the Peoples Republic of China I will be living and working at The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen China. I will be a staff member working in the educational space and have a studio space in the design studio.
