Foundation Lecture Series: Marianne Dages (week 5)

During this week's foundation lecture book artist and maker Marianne Dages spoke of her work in various studios, and about how her experiences have led her to having her very own studio.  What was engaging about this week's lecture was that Dages really stressed the importance of having your own space to work.  Also, I thought it was intelligent when she talked about her background and how after going to school she continued to surround herself with two important things that you get out of community studios: equitment and collaboration.  Although the speech did seem to be slow moving at times, I liked that she gave advice on building a studio.  Dages told us that over the years you should invest in maybe one tool a month so that by the time you are ready to open your own studio, you already have a good start on supplies.
