So whats up dudes

I have seen the facilities and have my work cut out for me, literally.
I am currently working on refurbishing a room that i will get to live in rent free which is awesome. Next week, we start with the studio, my assistantship here involves rebuilding a foundry, including ceramic shell and resin bonded sand, bronze, aluminum, iron, copper, and glass. and when I say rebuild i mean basically mean build. there are remnants of a foundry here, but the sculpture department has big plans.
Oh, and as an extra challenge, the whole thing has to be wired with 220, and it has to run on oil. two things which i know very little (nothing) about.

But we have an experienced staff and enthusiastic students, so it seems very possible.
Now if i can just squeeze time to make art into this, things would be all set.

I hope the studio tour goes well, just remember that all my sales go through Pete. Pete I can trust you with all the money I'll make right? Meg you are in charge of keeping tabs on how many people ask if my studio is a storage space.

dudes.

It is cold in estonia. There is snow everywhere. I met the other students and had a tour of the facilities. things look great, there is glass working here, and i am eager to get into that. The school seems to have its base in clasical styles, with newwer staff adding a more contemporary point of view. Here is a link to the schools website Kunstiakadeemia. The language is tough, it is humbling, to be able to talk, literally only when spoken to. most people here speak english, but not primarily, and everyone seems to speak more than one language.

Before I left, I had a dream that was in Spanish, or spanish gibberish, except i could understand everything that was said. I dont speak Spanish, not well enough to dream in it anyway. I think i had gotten druk before i went to sleep that night. Maybe that was it.

Either way, I am hoping that i can use some of the snow that is around tomorrow, and hopefully by then i will have pictures to post.
