EXAMPLE Working with a Foundry: Troy Jackson

Artist Troy Jackson, a Cherokee National Treasure for his work in pottery, often times creating large pieces from clay and metal, brings his knowledge and skill to the Cherokee Arts Center as he leads a class on taking your clay pieces to a bronze sculpture. This workshop session will introduce twelve basic steps on how to produce a bronze sculpture from start to finish. It will include information on the materials, tools and supplies needed to make the transition as well as what is expected from both the foundry and you as the artist. If you have any interest in learning this process, this is a can’t miss event. Join Troy and reserve your spot in class today.

About the Artist
Troy is a ceramist that has not only taken the initiative to develop himself artistically but has used his technical talents to construct and fire using his own kilns. Operating off the beaten path of easily available supplies and equipment, he has proved incredibly resourceful and flexible in the creation and manufacture of his ceramic pieces. Troy is also a very talented 2-D artist as well, working in a variety of media. His hand-built and wheel-thrown vessels not only signify a Southeastern motif but also express a Spanish, French and European influence.
