And now, in collaboration with ArtsBuild: The Overlap.
This community podcast explores the shared DNA between the job site and the artist’s studio.
In each episode, we bring together local trade professionals and fine artists to discuss the mastery of their shared medium.
Whether it’s the structural integrity of a skyscraper vs. a public sculpture - or the chemistry of a commercial kitchen vs. a ceramic kitchen - this series proves that technical training is the gateway to both a high-wage career and a creative life.
Produced in partnership with ArtsBuild, each episode also serves as a portal to current arts opportunities and local arts advocacy.
For this episode, we’re talking about “The Molten Seam.”
Our guests:
- Stephanie Loggans, a commercial welder at the Harrison Bay Future Ready Center in the Hamilton County Schools
- Isaac Duncan III, an artist in Chattanooga known for his large-scale metal sculptures
Right now, Hamilton County Schools’ Future Ready Institutes are training the next generation of welders and fabricators - who are learning what Stephanie and Issac understand about metallurgy, the strength of different joints and the mindfulness required under the welding hood to create that perfect bead.
More on all this in a future conversation.
Our thanks to Isaac, Stephanie and the team at ArtsBuild for this conversation on The Overlap.
Back with another conversation next month.
