Snap Cups

Angela Schwab, a local artist and Cu graduate, visited our advanced ceramics class in Boulder this week. She took some time to explain her work, and her recent accomplishments. Most relevant to out class was her explanation of how her blog, and internet activity has helped her on her way. Her blog site is: blog.invaltdesign.com . She stated that she spends hours each day reading and writing on blogs. Angela spoke of how important online communication is today, and that though it is not necessary for one to take part in the online world, it can jumpstart one’s career. People from all countries can look at one’s work, comment on it, buy it, sell it, trade it – and eventually spread the word about it. Some interesting sites Angela suggested looking at are:

www.etsy.com – craft and independent design (like e-bay)
SAC – society of arts and crafts w/ cup show at Christmas www.designboom.com – contemporary design site
(has competition “Dining in 2015”.)
Handled with Care – show and comp. in England
www.joshspear.com - CU drop-out, Blog promoter
