Is art intimidating? I think about this a lot. After all, it is our mission to make art accessible. So what are we up against? Why do so many find art an intimidating concept? For starters, there’s something personal at stake. As both maker and viewer, a certain vulnerability is required, a willingness to apply your unique personal perspective to the engagement. Call it fear of judgment, fear of failure, or fear of the unknown, it can be scary to put yourself on the line in any context. Much easier to avoid it, even if it means you might be missing something really great. Could there also be a larger perception problem? For centuries art has been upheld as a critical component of an advanced culture. In that sense, it is perceived with elevated regard. Does this “high culture” status have unintended consequences? Does it inadvertently exclude a large portion of the population who might think that art is not for them? This much is clear to me: whether deterred by cultural perception or personal fears, the barriers to participating as makers or viewers are merely illusions. And we, as art enthusiasts, are all responsible for dispelling the myths and promoting the truth: that there’s a way for everyone to engage in art. I’m sure we can all think of someone in our personal networks who has no present engagement with art. So the next time you go to an exhibit, enjoy an artwalk, or take a class at Pratt, I challenge you to invite that person along. Let’s tear down the walls and build a new construct into which everyone is invited and no one need fear; maybe together we can change the paradigm, one person at a time. Food for thought! Cheers,
Steve Galatro Executive Director

Master Artist Darryl Nelson
BY LISA GEERTSEN
Darryl Nelson has been a self employed blacksmith since 1972. With a background in horseshoeing and ornamental architectural work, he began teaching and demonstrating to the public in 1979. He is the owner of Fire Mountain Forge (1978) and Meridian Forge Blacksmithing School (2003), both located in the foothills of Mt. Rainier in Eatonville, WA. Darryl’s architectural work is recognized as being made in the Cascadian style. “Cascadian ironwork is medieval craftsman style, and that’s the way I describe my work – it adds to the craftsman style, a rougher finish and line that is less clean. Adze marks remain, chamfering remains.” ~Darryl Nelson in an interview with the Portland Monthly As the third generation blacksmith for Timberline Lodge, Darryl restores the existing metalwork as well as furnishing the lodge with new items that fit in seamlessly to the original WPA era style. While the designs in the lodge need to strictly conform to the guidelines given by its curators and caretakers, the Cascadian style flows through the metalwork in Government camp with the added creativity of Darryl’s personal touch. The ram’s head is a signature symbol of the lodge but it is not the only hot sculpted creature to be found on the mountain, a visitor can explore the lodge and Silcox Hut to find many more creatures sculpted in iron. While most of Darryl’s work is architectural, the hot sculpted animal head is what he’s become so well known for. Some of the best examples are on the large planter urns along Second Ave. in downtown Seattle across the street from the Seattle Art Museum. He has been demonstrating and teaching this technique across the country for numerous years. His dedication to education and the promotion of the art of blacksmithing has been, and continues to be, instrumental to the community of artist blacksmiths in the Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest. The majority of smiths here, including all of our blacksmithing instructors here at Pratt, have spent a good portion of time working for Darryl or taking as many of his workshops as possible. This is just one of the reasons we are excited to have this Master Artist in our blacksmithing studio.

Pratt has such a great community of artists, I am looking forward to being part of it.” JULES has been renting at Pratt for years. She loves the camaraderie she and her fellow printmakers have developed. “I love looking across the room and seeing a new technique and thinking ‘I should learn to do that!’ I am always finding new things to incorporate in my work.”
“ As a working artist, renting at Pratt is the only way to go.

Romson REGARDE Bustillo BY CYNTHIA HIBBARD
@Pratt Magazine’s, Cynthia Hibbard recently sat down with Romson Regarde Bustillo to discuss his work and his involvement with Pratt. From his first interaction with Pratt more than 20 years ago, to his first Pratt class--aided by tuition assistance--until today, Romson Bustillo has never left Pratt’s orbit. He has built both his skills and his career here, making invaluable connections and mentorships along the way. These days he continues to cycle through Pratt as both a print instructor and a practicing artist who regularly uses the facilities. IMAGES COURTESY OF BIMA

Bustillo has found teaching to be a two-way inspiration incubator that keeps his ideas spinning. He’s also constantly gratified by new students’ ‘ah-ha’ moments of understanding that what they’ve made came from something deep inside them. “I wish I could share this more eloquently with more and more people,” he said. When he’s immersed in his own work, Bustillo can be seen late at night in the print studio, headphones in place, intensely concentrating on his project of the moment. Recently, he produced nearly all of the 34 vibrantly patterned pieces on display through September 28 at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art at Pratt. His BIMA show, Dugay Na, means “no longer new” or “a long time now” in the Mindanao Bisaya/ Cebuano language of the Philippines, from which Bustillo immigrated at age nine, when his family joined relatives living in Columbia City. Soon, Bustillo will be back in the studio finishing work for a 4Culture show that opens the first Thursday in October. Bustillo credits the guidance of former Pratt Executive Director Greg Robinson, now BIMA’s executive director, in helping him refine his work over the years so that “no longer new” has personal relevance. It’s difficult for him to pinpoint the length of that association. “I feel like Pratt has always been part of my life,” he said. “So the dates are a little bit confusing.”

@PM: What do you think
it is about Pratt that allows inexperienced students to mingle with practicing artists and still feel accepted?
RB: It’s the culture. This is the place for anyone to make art, no matter what the student’s age or skill level. Pratt provides both a welcoming atmosphere and a dedication to producing fine art. New students will always be accepted and encouraged. They’ll also learn from their instructors that this is the place where we make beautiful objects or objects that make statements. It’s a center where people are evolving and thinking about what they’re making. @PM: But what would

These are techniques anyone is capable of learning.
