At "Celebrating Crafts," I immersed myself in the world of grassroots artisanship, exploring the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary art. Through creating my graphic novel "TYAAG: The Final Act Of Love," storyboard "The Echo Of Tradition and three collages, I learned the intricate processes behind craft-making, from storytelling to material manipulation. These works reflect my understanding of how art can preserve culture, connect people, and celebrate skill. My time at the studio deepened my appreciation for the craftsmanship that shapes identity and community, enriching my creative journey and informing my artistic practices.
