When I'm not sidetracked by another project or working on something else, my sculptures take point in what I focus on.  However, don't let that fool you.  I've worked with some truly talented people in the past and I've noticed a trend between each of us;  we always find ways to have fun while doing our projects.  When working in a small space with other artists or collaboratively, the ability to come together to relax, laugh, and talk about projects is priceless. My environment when working on sculptures is rarely ever serious, but rather filled with a sense of being laid back, and fun.  This is especially true during metal casts, raku firings, and regular firings.
