Artist Lecture to be given by Art & Design student Eric Shine



Artist Lecture:
Thursday, October 10
12-1pm
In the Art Gallery
Eric Shine is a current Fine Arts student at Parkland College. In 2011, Eric was awarded the Don Lake Art Scholarship and the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts Scholarship. That summer Eric traveled to Arrowmont in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains to attend a week-long workshop in resin casting. Asking himself, “Why not?” He encased a raw slab of bacon in resin. This piece won a Merit Award in the 2012 Governor’s State Community College Juried Art Exhibition.
Always the curious learner, Eric traveled to Guinea, West Africa to learn traditional lost-wax bronze casting through Antioch University. For six months Eric apprenticed with master caster, Sekou Berete. 
Join us and  listen as Eric shares his experience traveling and working in Guinea, West Africa.
